[DeTomaso] Gas Tank Sealer

[John Maffeo]

Jack and others,
   
  thanks for the replies. I do not have any leaks or any other problems. i was thinking this would be a good time
  for some preventative maintenance while my engine is out of the car.
   
  thanx,
   
  John

  John, I've not used Eastwood's product, but I have used other such 
tank-coaters, and most compounds need the tank violently agitated after adding the mix, 
to properly distribute it over the whole inside of the tank . In a Pantera or 
most other cars, this requires having the tank out of the car- no small job 
for us. Second, many such compounds are attacked by California gasoline that 
contains MTBE and other toxic solvents. The dried coatings then flake off and 
clog fuel filters, pumps and carb/efi systems. Some alcohols also attack the 
coatings. I'd ask the Eastwood rep lots of questions. What seems to be the 
problem that would need such an internal coating? Curious- JDeRyke
