Thread: KBS Tank Sealer Worth the Effort?

Yeah, now I'll have to cut the tank open to get rid of it all .

Must have been how it was applied - mine is fine after six years.

Or as used by "back in" (taken from the series 1 section)..

4:1 mixture of PVC glue and PVC cleaning solvent. He says it works excellent and is a fraction of the cost of the real stuff.

I have used Redkote on my series 1 fuel tank. One can is easily enough for the tank. Worked excellent.

Cheers,

Brand new metal, instructions followed to the letter.

It's a big tank though & I needed double the recommended quantities - not cheap in the '90s.

The 90 with the side tank was sold here, but very few in number (the price was almost the same as the 110), so yes the tanks are difficult to find. However aren't the Perentie tanks the same as the 90 side tank? They are in the same place.

I have used the KSB tank sealer kit and recommend it. This was on a '64 kombi fuel tank that had a fair bit of surface rust and i wanted peace of mind, especially around the seams.

It was easy to work with and dried to a very tough thick finish, I was impressed. No leaks.

Hope this helps
