ok, so i got myself a second hand van fuel tank for $20 as a replacement for mine. As some of you would know my current fuel tank is rusty inside and hence kept blocking my fuel filter :evil:

So what i need to know is how do i seal up my replacment tank? I have got all the solids out of it but i am not sure what to do next?

any help muchly appreciated

thanks

Try the POR 15 tank repair kit and sealer kit - bit pricey but will stop the solids and the rust.

Hooroo
