[QUOTE="vince998, post: 17629, member: 261"] Tig welded the tank, and it is now sealed with a 2 pack sealant. The tank was filled with a water soluble de-rusting agent and ceramic stones (similar the the stones used for industrial deburring) It was the well wrapped in blankets and attached to the front of a cement mixer and rotated for 8 hours total (changing the attitude of the tank every 2 hours so as to reach every internal part) Inspected internally with a bore camera and found to be spotless. Sealed once again, and pressure tested (just in case de-rusting revealed any new holes) Everything good. De-greased, and treated with a primer/rust preventer and allowed to dry for 2 days by 40° 2 pack sealant mixed, poured in and well rotated for 1/2 hour to reach every part of the tank (it´s a pretty complicated shape in there!!) Pour out the excess and it´s now drying in my heating cellar and will stay there the next 2 weeks. Thanks to all for your comment/Advice. Report to follow after the German rally (and maybe the Austrian if places are still free) [/QUOTE]
