i had my tank off putting the return for my TBI so i thought it would be a good time to install a drain plug. ...SAFTY FIRST... i washed my tank out with ...soap and water...2 times...then let it air out over night. mine is a new tank so it cleaned the fumes out easy. an older tank might need more cleaning. on the bottom center of the tank is a ...flat spot...here i drilled a 7/8" hole. i took a...thick 2 1/2 in. flat washer...and welded a ...1/2x20 nut...onto it. next i i welded the ...washer W/nut centered inside the hole... to the tank. coated the outside of the washer with ...Rust Bullit... got a...rubberized replacement oil pan drain plug (1/2x20)...and screwed it into the welder nut. on the inside i got(from my rad. shop) some ...gas tank coating...he gave me a pint to do the inside bottom of the tank to coat the welded spot. he put the coating in a ...pint glass jar... here is a pic i took of the jar after the coating dried in the jar. i broke the jar to see how the coating would hold the glass.it had a ...broken windshield effect... i hope you find this info. helpfull ......
That looks like the stuff I coated my tank with. It (my stuff) is called "Red coat". How about a pic of the tank?...
Drain plugs are always a good idea. If you convert to a mustang tank, always get one with a drain plug.
Good idea Frank,, and I also use the kitchen table for stuff like that. That red stuff sure does work well. Dan
if i had known you wanted to see a pic. this bad i would have posted one. but as you are not coming back there is no need to post one now. ......
What else does shine come in besides a mason jar? They are the BEST drinking glasses, when they are full of shine.
