Problem: tank was creemed and now that is flaking off and rusting on the inside, gas is trashy and full of crap. Also the filter above the petcock assy. has a hole in the mesh.
Can the tank be brought back to working condition? Re-creemed?
Thanks.
Use POR-15, it includes stuff to remove old tank coatings (Kreem is Krap!)
there is a link on my site "Vision Resources" at:

Lucky, thanks for the info on POR-15. I will buy a kit and give it a go. My other question was about the petcock filter. Can it be worked on or does it just get replaced? If I use an in-line fuel filter (which I've already installed) will that be OK even if the petcock filter is failing?
Thanks,
Shawn.
Hi Shawn,
Just so you are aware of it - POR15 makes two kits the regular kit is for tanks that have not been coated and the Heavy Duty kit is for contains chemicals to remove the coating on a tank done earlier. I just did a none coated tank and it was fairly easy to do.

i wouldn't worry too much about the "filter on the petcock if you have an inline filter. if it is crumbling you might want to take it out, but i wouldn't worry about it.

Kenny, Lucky,
Thanks again to both of you for your assistance. I am going to use the Heavy Duty POR-15 kit to bring my tank back to life since the "TEXT" will have to be cleansed prior to resurfacing with the POR-15.

FYI:
The weird crap in the the above posting was me trying out those "YABBC" tags. Didn't quite work as planned!!
Peace.
