    Fixing fuel tanks

    I have been reading about fixing petrol tanks and thought someone might have experienced this before.
    Red Kote seems to work but i read that using a mixture of Plumbers glue and cleaner also works a treat.( last 20 years so the chap explains )
    This interests me because i use it at work regulary and i know it does form a skin inside the bottles and i suppose this is what you are looking for inside the fuel tank.
    So if anyone has used this method it would be good to get some feedback.
    Thanking you perry.

    I have used Back In's glue method - works really well. Clean the tank with caustic soda first,

    It works

    Hi All
    pleased to see my ideas do work
    Just one thing
    water it down with a little more primer
    helps in spreading the mix over all the surface
    keep moving the mix around coating top and bottom
    until it skins
    cheers
    Ian
