This product has to be the best product on the market. It came with the Marine clean, Tank Prep, Tank Sealer, fuel stabilizer and complete instructions. I sealed my tank on a weekend. It takes 24 hours for it to dry. It has been a year since and not one once of rust or sediment has clogged up my fuel filter. Before I could not go a mile with out it getting clogged.
If anyone wants to seal an old fuel tank like the pros do. I recommend Por-15 fuel tank sealer.

Good to hear. I received my POR-15 small tank treatment kit at my door last week and will be using it shortly. I will report my results.

I have a gas tank for a 1966 chevy stepside that has all kinds of rust in it. Is it restorable or do I need a new one?

is it rusted out? or are there just rust flakes?
you could try doing the por15 and put a chain in the gas tank and shake it to loosen up the rust

"Over a year now," thanks, that was information I have wanted.
I've used other POR-15 products, and had no problems, but have been curious if the gas tank treatment really adheres to the inside of a gas tank. steve

Is it the POR-15 "Super" starter kit that you ordered? If so, does that kit take care of the cleaning too, or do I need to get it cleaned by a radiator shop?
Thanks

Acme, I used the Auto Feul Tank Repair. http://www.por15.com/restorationkits.html
I have still not had a problem with my tank.

I called POR a while back concerning a tank I'm going to have built. I figured I needed to seal or condition the tank in some fashion. The rep was full of information and told me that I shouldn't do anything to a new tank, then in about a year or so I could use their product on the tank. He said I wouldn't get the material to stick on new metal, it would take some time before their product would be able to do any thing.
Nice to hear I didn't need it now and that they weren't just going to try to sell it to me anyway. Some companies will sell you anything - whether or not you need it.
