Re: [Amc-list] Eastwood Gas Tank Sealer Kit

I just had the tank from one of my Jensens done by one of the Gas Tank
Renu places, and was very pleased.   They had to cut 3 extra access
holes to get past the internal baffles to get the crud blasted out.
The interior coating they used looks like the same FAA-approved stuff I
used to use to coat the "wet wing" fuel tanks in my old Grumman Tiger;
and I know that's good stuff.   Only drawback with Gas Tank Renu is that
the exterior coating is gonzo-ugly, but the Jensen tank is tucked up
where you can't see it anyway.    Was pricy too -- ~$450.   Would have
been probably $100 less if they didn't have to cut and reseal those
extra access holes.

It was one of the only 2-3 products from Eastwood I found to be crap.
And I have used many of their products for over 10 years. I followed the
instructions to the letter. I even had the tank boiled out at a radiator
shop as a precaution. Within 6 months the sealer coating came loose and
clogged the pickup. Luckily for me a new  Eagle gas tank fit my yellow
74 Hornet with little mods and 6 years later I put another new one in my
orange one too. Sometimes there is a place  to penny pinch but this is
not one in my opinion. I would have it professionally done with a
guarantee and forget about it.
