I have an '86 Silverado with dual 16 gallon tanks, one is rusting out around the rear strap, so I'm gonna replace the tank. Is there anything I need to or can put on the tank to prevent the new one rusting out? Mick '86 Silverado K10
i was looking in a magazine ad at the end you know... and there was a ad for the like paint stuff... that made it rust proof.. u could put it on cab floor gas tanks other major rust areas...i cant remeber what it is called... ________ NO2 VAPORIZER
found the ad on a different forum... heres the link... http://rustbullet.com/Products/Automotive/Automotive.htm ________ Synthetic weed
tke the tanks off and spray them with rino lining. Thats what i did on my 77 for rust. Hunter C. Todd (801)562-5941;-)
Like hunter said, some type of rubberized under coating, or hard crap like rhino lining will probably work, and make your tanks stronger! - Shane
new tanks usually come with an oily residue , we lightly sand this off and spray it with primer then with rockerguard . we then put bearing grease on the underside of the straps. this usually makes them last longer in the ice and snow here in new brunswick canada.
