The
Importance of a Good
Tank Sealer - Dennis
McCartney, President
CBXMan.com |
We
think our POR-15
Fuel Tank Sealant is
the best product
to seal the inside
of a motorcycle
fuel tank with.
It is literally
the first step
we take when
we take possession
of a bike. During
the course of
our restoration
business we had
a couple of fuel
tanks that were
too badly damaged
to be saved but
before we disposed
of them we cut
them open to
examine the inside.
The first two
pictures show
the top of a
1982 Honda CBX
fuel tank. As
you can see in
the second shot
the inside of
the tank has
been sealed with
one of our competitors
products. The
reason that we
don’t use
that product
is because it
has a tendency
to release and
fall into the
tank rendering
the tank useless.
We have experienced
that here and
as this picture
illustrates the
product is peeling
from the inside
of this tank.
The second
two pictures
show the top
of a 1981 Honda
CBX fuel tank.
You will note
what happens
to the inside
of a fuel tank
if it is left
unsealed. The
reason this
picture is
interesting
is that it
illustrates
a part of the
fuel tank that
an owner would
never be able
to see without
lowering a
mirror into
the tank so
in most cases
the rust would
be occurring
without the
knowledge of
the owner.
Two
great reasons
to use POR-15
Fuel Tank
Sealer in
your tank
