    No one on here. They are hard to come by. If you find someone making them let us know.

    I thought my tank was trash until I used different methods to clean it and then sealed it. SO far so good. Whats wrong with the tank?

    I did the 3 step POR-15 fuel tank sealer on my van. Worked like a charm. Had to JB weld a couple of pin holes the cleaning solution found and used a leaf blower to dry out the tank before the final coating applied by kicking the tank around the yard for 15 minutes. Let it cure for 3 days before you put gas in it and thats about it.

    That's a good deal. My local shop wanted $90 just to boil it and coat it. Score!
