Stripping and Sealing Fuel Tank

PatriotHauling · Sep 24, 2013

I have a fuel tank from a cab/chassis truck that is going to go where the spare tires was. The problem is it is suspected of delamination and causing the injector issues in its source truck, but this is unconfirmed and I dont want to find out the hard way.

I went to a radiator shop today and asked how much they would charge to boil and seal the tank. Lets just say its cost prohibitive for my project (since I got the tank for free, my investment is 0 so far.) I dont NEED the tank, but I got it free and thought it would be a cool project if I could do it reasonably cheap. What the shop wanted puts me past commercially available products which totally eliminates the purpose of free haha.

I understand there are products on the market that can strip and seal tanks at home.
Has anyone ever done this or used these products? Any tips or recommendations?

I've used a product to coat the inside of diesel tanks. Can't remember the name of it. You pour it in and tip the tank around to coat the whole inside. It's held up very well.
