Work continued on the driver side fuel tank last Sunday. As expected, it was not completed before lights out. This is partly due to the unexpected 30 minutes worth of rain at 1500hrs that halted work. When safe to continue, it was already cooling down significantly and my final act was to apply a coat of etch, before shutting down for the week.
I will be taking the etch coat off tomorrow. It 'blushed' from the low temp and moisture formed on the surface. That means it will also have allowed moisture through to the metal.
Passenger side tank now finished, including cap with the new seal I made. I bought the tank stencils when I got the bridge loading plate a while ago. They may not be CMP genuine, but I like em!
When I can afford it, I will still run a sealing system through both tanks. I have received product information brochures for two systems of tank cleaning sets, POR15 & KBS Coatings. Both can be used on tanks after they are painted, provided some common-sense measures are taken. Not decided on which to buy, but the KBS Coatings set is substantially cheaper and almost identical in components!
