When I poured that into the tank in 1981, unleaded and E5 fuel had not been invented.
Luckily, it has all come out of the tank, 100psi airline, long nozzle on the air gun, and from what I can see the steel is still in good clean order and not rusty at all.
So, in reality, its done its job.
GPWM...
I have been researching into the POR15 sealer recently, and to be honest i need to do one of my tanks, so have decided to buy some and give it a go? The latest stuff claims to be ethanol resistant so should be OK? plus if it lasts 40 years ill be 100 and won't give a flying fuck if it fails!
This is the dog's bollocks. About twice the price of POR-15 though

Just out of interest what was the reason that you put a tank sealer into a good condition steel tank in 1981?When I poured that into the tank in 1981, unleaded and E5 fuel had not been invented.

I used petseal on a Cali tank years ago.
it laid a fine deposit of itself on the carb slides. Little spots...
... just enough to make the slides stick open - usually at half throttle.
I had to give up. I left the tank 'stored' (hidden ) in the attic hoping that if i left it a few years it would harden up enough to make it usable again.
It's been up there about ten years now. What do you think my chances are?
Ten years? Ahem, I last worked with you thirteen years ago and you had done the petseal a good few years before that. Oh this getting old shite
Thanks Steve. That looks very original, I can't imagine there are many original exhausts still around
