    Gas Tank Sealant Product Info.

    I USED KREEM IN MY TANK LAST SUMMER AND IT PEELED VERY SOON AFTER COMPLETING. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAD USED IT SO I WILL NOT OVERLOOK OPERATOR ERROR. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT A DIFFERENT PRODUCT CALLED CASWELL PLATEING AND IT SEAMS TO BE A MUCH EASER PRODUCT TO USE AS WELL AS GIVEING GOOD RESULTS. MY BIG QUESTION IS WILL I HAVE TO STRIP THE KREEM FROM MY TANK BEFORE USEING THE CASWELL OR WILL THE CASWELL TAKE CARE OF THE WHOLE PROBLEM.

    THANKS,
    GREG

    strip the inside

    If the KREEM kit is peeling, then yes you will have to strip the inside! A new seal job is not going to hole unless the surface is prepped properly. If there is any rust in the tank I would suggest a kit I used from POR15, I think it delivers better results than the KREEM kit!

        Error

        If the tank kreem is failing you then you did not let the chemical etching sit long enough. I let the prep chemical etch sit for 7 days and it leaves behind a fresh zinc covered tank. Then I applied the sealant and let it set for 2 weeks (it was winter time). I have never had a problem with it since. Be sure to get the materials from above site that has the chemical to dissolve the old kreem away properly. Patience is of a virtue when doing this.

              Thanks for all of the information. I have decided to retreat my tank wth the Pro15. I will let everyone know how it works.
