Grasshopper Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 We've used it twice - once on a MUTT restoration several years ago, and I just used it in our Ferret fuel tank which I had cut open, shot blasted and welded back up. The product seems to do what it says on the tin from the MUTT experience. Make sure that the prep is carried out correctly (you may need to let the tank dry out overnight following degreasing and prep solution.

rampant rivet Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Yep I agree with above advice I've used it in the Champs tank 3/4 yrs ago and all seems fine have done the MW's and am about to do the Nortons tank plus spare, though I would advise following the instructions fully.

ArtistsRifles Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I used it a couple of years back on one of my Landrovers fuel tanks. I bought it off e-bay and when it was filled it turned out that at around the half tank mark it leaked like a sieve. Make sure the tank is thoroughly dried after washing and cleaning - I had mine in the kitchen in the warm to dry it out for two complete days before plugging all the external holes (remove drain plug too) and using the dealing liquid. Touch wood it is still dry as a bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuffen Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I used it 5 years ago on a fuel tank and it hasn't leaked yet. This tank runs hi-octane fuel all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedawnpatrol Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 thanks guys, looks like it a good product then, i'll let you know how i get on. Jules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoseman Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I've used it on my cars when I used to do the classic car restoration. Does what it says on the tin, but follow instructions to the letter. Two reasons really, 1) it will work and seal as it should 2) IF something goes wrong you have some grounds for an argument. I've heard of some guys not doing the prep correctly and bits coming adrift into the fuel system! But I've only good to say about it.
