    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Tank stripping question

quick question for the forum, my float assembly was very rusted and I got a new one, planned on evaporusting my tank but looking down inside it looks like it’s already been coated/sealed. Hard to take pics but it’s defintiely got a seal surface on it. If I evaporust it just to get rid of any left over from the float assembly will it mess with the existing coating?
 
Evaporust won't hurt the coating. If the tank isn't fully sealed, though, with some bare spots, the coating will likely lift off at some point.

Be sure to remove the petcock and sending unit before using Evaporust. That stuff removes/eats zinc, including zinc plating.

Yup already removed petxock/sending unit and plugged up all the holes, just wanted to be sure I wouldn’t mess up the current coating if I could just flush the tank a few times, but if it’s safe to the evaporust I’d rather just do it to be safe. Thanks man
