[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 23283, member: 60"] Well I got my two pots the remover and the new ethanol proof sealant in a couple of days When I opened up the remover it was as Roy said like paint stripper I dithered a bit and then decided to try other ways of removing the old covering first. in the end after the petrol was washed out with petrol and lots of water passed round the tank all the covering became like dry leaves I broke it up with a long shake with granite chippings and pulled out the 'leaves' with forceps lots more runs with the hose pipe (hurry there will be a ban soon) until the tank was back to its rusty old self without any free bits (or granite chips) floating round. All in all if you can remove the lining without the stripper I think thats best. Then following the instructions I blocked the petrol tap hole with plasticine emptied the SLOSH sealant in the tank, blocked the filler hole with a plastic cap and plasticine did the 360 degree rotation twice 10 Min's apart and we shall wait and see further story later in the year [/QUOTE]
