POR 15 Fuel Tank Sealant

[RobbieW]

I've a weeping stainless diesel tank, removal is looking like an engine out job - so, anyone used POR 15 tank sealant, http://www.frost.co.uk/por15-fuel-tank-sealers.html ?

Any good?

I'm assuming the problem is in or very near a weld down in the bottom corner of the tank. Access is reasonable from the top, there are 3 hatches - one in each baffle area. I dont think I want to seal the whole tank, just concentrate on the joints. Boat built in '83, I'm guessing tank is are original. There is a second tank, so this one is currently out of use.

Have you read the article on how to use POR15 properly? See http://www.frost.co.uk/how-do-i-repair-my-fuel-tank/

I'm not sure it's going to be very easy.

If you have to take the tank out, you might as well fit a new one.
