Default OT- (way off topic) Fuel tank repair

Sure. Weld in repair panels OR CLEAN the interior of the tanks very well
and epoxy coat them inside. You can buy fuel liner epoxy at many marine
stores.


Steve,

My concern would be access. In most of these installations, one could
not get to the bottom or back of the tank to weld it, and the tank
coatings I have found have directions to rotate the tank (like
"sloshing" an aircraft tank) to coat the interior. Are you aware of any
coatings that can be "painted" through an access port?

Thanks,

Kevin
