Petrol Tank Internal Coats questions - Paint & Sealer
Posted: Sat Oct 16, 2021 10:25 am
Can you please recommend me an internal paint for the fuel tank? One designed to be put on bare metal.
Also, which sealant is recommended to apply on this paint afterwards?
The incident that happened to me is as follow: I bought a red internal paint from Mark Huggett and applied it carefully, having already Experience with the stuff as I done it in the past on an other bike with great success. I'm not sure why but that paint is crumbling now inside the tank, not at some points, but generally superficial everywhere. The whole internal surface is flaking this coat away. As far as I know, there is still no ethanol blend in the fuel here in Israel, never the less I assume that this coat should be ethanol-resistant.
Also would like to hear what sealer is recommended after applying the paint.
As I am facing some leaking issues with the original tank I have, I would like to prepare myself for further treatment.
Thank you.
