Big Problem - hole in the gas tank w/pics

After you have your tank repaired treat it with this or something similar

I've had good luck with similar products. It's easy if you follow directions and are patient.

 

The reason I say this is because you don't know what else is under the paint unless you strip it down completely. Coating the interior will prevent future events like this one.

A strong second on the Epoxy from http://www.caswellplating.com/aids/epoxygas.htm

 

I had major rust issues on my '84 last year. I lined the tank with this product and it's tough as nails. The interior of the tank does not need to be perfectly clean and it bonds better to the remaining rust.

 

I've had no sign of any rust flakes or particles in the filter since I did it and inspecting the interior of the tank this spring the coating looks flawless.

 

I'm not a fan of the latex treaments at all. I've seen some go bad very quickly after treament. This product seems to be the fix all for tank problems.
