Did some research today on tank repair coatings. Found 2 that I like, but not sure what to use. They both sound good.

Anyone ever use one of these? Recommendations?

Never used any of those, but I have used Northern Tank Liner and it is very good stuff. It is just a quart of sealer, no mixing required. You just gotta make sure the tank is clean and rust free, and its gotta be flushed with 2 quarts of M.E.K. I get the liner at MPE automotive stores, but im sure it can be found elsewhere also. I quart does a 12 gallon tank. It can also be recoated which i do on all of my applications, and so far I have had nothing but positive results from it.

At the Back to the 50's this summer I bought a tank liner made by company that now competes with the POUR products. Company founded by break-away group of former POUR employees. Stuf is out in shop so cant remember name, about 1/3 less in cost and same warranty or guarintee as POUR.

Bought enough in smaller cans to do about 10 cycle tanks and said to seal fiberglass tanks as well as metal.
