Petseal instructions for use

tanks)? I've got the big tin, and the little bottle, and I've lost the
instructions.
The preparations thus far have been:
- nine litres of full-fat Coke in the tank for a fortnight.
- rinsing with weak washing-up-liquid solution
- thorough rinsing with lots and lots of fresh water.
I can still see rust when I look in the filler, but it all seems firmly
attached to the metal, rather than it flaking about in pieces, which it
was before.
I'm guessing I need to remove the petrol tap, so prevent it being sealed
with the Petseal; should I just bung the hole up with a rag, or
something?
Cunt-proof instructions gratefully received.

I did the KMX's tank a few months ago. I had a look for the destructions but
they are long gone. They say that it is unneccesary to remove all the rust
so long as tank is completely empty, clean and dry with no loose bits. I
put marbles in it and shook them around. Anyway, from memory, remove petrol
tap. Put some screws into holes to stop them filling with resin and block
hole. Mix hardener and petseal stuff in container and pout into tank.
Place plastic bag over petrol filler and close. Pour mixture around tank
turning it over and allowing it to coat all the surfaces esp top ones. Open
filler and remove bag. Clean around edges of filler and put on fresh bag.
Swill around in bottom of tank and place in warm place as resin needs warmth
to set. After 24 hours it should be dry. Another 24 hours and you can re
assemble tank and re fill. Did a bloody good job on KMX. If you look into
tank you can still see where the rust was but it is now under a layer of
resin so wont get any worse. I suppose you could clean any visible rust
from within the tank using polishing head first if you wanted to be a
purfectionist.

PETSEAL
Petseal is specially formulated as a corrosion resistant composite for the
internal coating of rusty and corroded steel petrol tanks and stops leaks
from "pinholes". After the removal of all loose rust and sediment the two
parts of Petseal are mixed in a container and then poured into the tank. The
mixture is swilled around to cover all the tank interior and then allowed to
set. The composite is designed to seep into the pitted surface and bind the
rust into a smooth and corrosion proof lining. Comes in 260ml cans with
hardener.

I petsealed a GS1000 tank a few years ago. They may have changed the
formulation now but I had a job getting the stuff to cure. The above
comment about warmth is dead on. I got it to set eventually by placing the
tank in a big oven running at about 50degC.
So I wouldn't recommend doing it on a cold day. When set it did the job.

I hadn't realised that the heat would matter either. I left it outside
because of the fumes! It didn't cure so I ended up bringing it in the house
into the downstairs toilet and leaving a fan heater on in there. It cured
over night but the loo smelt like a paint shop for about a week! Brilliant
stuff though, My bike used to go through a petrol filter every couple of
weeks! Its only the second bike BUT I travel to work on it so I needed it
to be reliable which it wasnt with the filter and carbs blocking every other
day!

Did my tank about 3 years ago with 'Petseal Ultra'. Apparently this stuff
has a very short shelf life (summat goes off maybe that affects the curing
process?) there is a use by date on the tin.

Oops. It's one of those jobs I've been meaning to do for a while. I'd
better check the tin.

Good to see the boy following in his father's footsteps, with his finger
poised for a drop of the old colonic treatment.

I'd be *really* worried if the tin leaks.

<pedant>
Why? It only seals once the hardener has been added, so why would the
tin be self-sealing if it's full of pre-mix?

That's right. Just give him more excuses...
