This job isn't going in the right order but I didn't have a choice. The tank got all purdy, (dents pulled with a stud gun, welded up, a little plastic, primed and painted) before the por-15 got here.
The Por-Strip job started Saturday with Por-Strip.
Good hint Coleman Stove or Lantern fuel tank caps work perfectly on the petcock holes, and No I am not related, or have stock in the company.
The air temp was 52 so I put 72 nuts in the tank, added the Qt of strip, shoved a rubber stopper in the top of the tank and proceded to Agitate the Heck out of it for the next 50 Min.
Things learned:
1. 50 minutes is a Long time.
2. This stuff builds up pressure in the tank.
3. Pull the top stopper with a rag around it like your playing with a HOT radiator, stay on it and let the pressure out slowly. OR
4. You will have messed up like me, Pressure in the form of air above a nasty liquid being expelled out the petcock hole, spraying everywhere and making a MESS. To say the least I got lucky, no damage or injury resulted.
I did folow the rest of the directions, hose and lots of water and soft cloth was on hand so no damage was done.
The Red colored liner in the 84' R100's tank did not come totaly out.
Called Por-15 The stuff isn't designed to work over other liners...
What do you guy know that I don't? Please Help.
