Fuel Tank Restoration

In this episode we clean out and clean up an old rusty fuel tank.
After stripping off all the old underbody rubber spray we stripped all the paint down to bare metal, used some wax and grease remover and then sprayed 3 coats of SPI 2 part Epoxy primer out of a Devilbiss Tekna spray gun using a 1.3 fluid nozzle and the TE20 Air cap.
It came out beautifully and then capped off the bottom half of the gas tank with a couple coats of Raptor Line to match up with out undercarriage restoration.

Great work as usual bro, stay safe out there with the weather and all that!

Turned out looking awesome. As always great work. One question what was your process for cleaning the inside, and did you use some sort of sealer after getting the inside clean? Thanks

[@hcr-motorworks]

I used some citric acid in this one, sorry didn't have any after shots. You can also use diluted muriatic acid and then neutralize with baking soda to remove the rust. This one wasn't bad enough to need a sealer but I put a sealer kit link in the description just in case anyone else was running into a gnarly tank that needs sealing.

Thanks for the info I have ones I hoped I can save.
