ShawnW Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Pull yours and have it sealed or get a junkyard one. Post a WTB post in the Subaru Marketplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Yeah - or find a Junk yard that doesn't punch holes in them. Don't know where your from, but some yards do, and others don't. A new tank is over $300. Get yours welded, or get a used one. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 My Brat "Brat Patrol" has internal rust flakes that plug up the pick up tube. A Harley rider friend speaks of a gas tank sealer they use on old shovels tanks and such First an acid "etching" solution is added, then the sealer is put in - sloshed about, the excess poured out and then let it dry. Has anyone ever heard of this treatment? A quick Goggle search turned up one of my favorite companies POR 15 Think I may try this http://www.rags2riches1299.com/faq_gastank.html This is feasible for our applications (all boneyard tanks in my area look toast and 300 GW's is not in the cards Maybe I should post a new thread?

GeneralDisorder Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Yes - but if you look at the year column for both those parts, it says "85-87" and "85-89". I'm betting both of those are EA82 tanks. Won't work for his application. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
