What You'll Learn
Preparation and application
Firstly, it is crucial to ensure the fuel tank is free of contaminants. If there is gum, varnish, sludge, or fuel inside, it must be removed. The sealer will not work in a contaminated tank. To remove contaminants, use the POR-15 Cleaner Degreaser, which is included in the Auto Fuel Tank Repair Kit. This product effectively eliminates gum, sludge, and varnish.
Next, address any rust issues within the tank. Utilize the POR-15 Metal Prep solution, also part of the Auto Fuel Tank Repair Kit, to remove rust and prepare the tank's surface for the sealer application. Ensure the tank is thoroughly dried after this step before proceeding.
For optimal results, consider using a battery drill with a small paddle to stir the sealer thoroughly. This ensures that the product is mixed adequately, as there may be some sediment at the bottom of the tin. Once the sealer is mixed, proceed to apply it to the tank, following the instructions provided with the kit.
Finally, after applying the sealer, rotate the tank periodically to ensure full coverage. Once satisfied, tip out any excess sealer. It is important to note that a heat gun can be useful for drying the tank and ensuring a thorough application.

Safety is a key consideration when using any fuel tank sealer. POR-15 Fuel Tank Sealer has been formulated without Methyl Ethyl Ketone, a highly flammable and deadly carcinogen.

Before using the sealer, it is important to ensure the tank is free of contaminants such as gum, varnish, sludge, or fuel. These must be removed before applying the sealer, as with any tank sealer product, it will not work in a contaminated tank.
When using the product, ensure you follow the instructions supplied with the kit. Pre-cleaning the tank before applying the sealer is essential. After applying the final coat, make sure the tank is dried thoroughly. Use a heat gun to speed up the drying process if needed. The sealer goes a long way, so rotate the tank periodically to ensure full coverage before tipping out any excess.

POR-15 Fuel Tank Sealer is a high-tech sealer that is impervious to all fuels, including diesel, E10 ethanol, and high-alcohol content fuels. It was formulated and developed in response to the demand for a sealer that could withstand the new Stage II fuels, which have a high alcohol content.

Auto and motorcycle repair kits
The POR-15 Fuel Tank Repair Kit is a comprehensive solution for sealing fuel tanks in automobiles and motorcycles. This product is specifically designed to address the challenges posed by modern fuels, including those with high alcohol content, such as Stage II fuels. The kit's effectiveness stems from its ability to prevent rust, which is achieved by keeping moisture away from the metal surfaces of the tank.
The repair process begins with the removal of contaminants from the fuel tank. This is a critical step, as the POR-15 Fuel Tank Sealer will not adhere properly if the tank is contaminated with gum, varnish, sludge, or fuel. Once the tank is clean and dry, the sealer can be applied. It is recommended to use the entire can of the sealer to ensure complete coverage.
The Auto Fuel Tank Repair Kit is priced at $219.91, while the Motorcycle Fuel Tank Repair Kit is $140.00. Both kits offer a comprehensive solution for sealing fuel tanks, ensuring proper adhesion and effective protection against rust and corrosion.
The POR-15 Fuel Tank Sealer stands out among other sealers due to its superior strength and fuel resistance. Notably, it does not contain Methyl Ethyl Ketone, a highly flammable and carcinogenic substance. The sealer is safe to use, non-flammable, and environmentally friendly. It is also available in different sizes, including 8oz (236mL) and pint (473mL) options, ensuring you have the right amount for your project.
In addition to the sealer, the POR-15 Fuel Tank Repair Kit includes essential products like the POR-15 Cleaner Degreaser and the POR-15 Metal Prep. The Cleaner Degreaser ensures the tank is free from contaminants, while the Metal Prep etches the metal, enhancing the adhesion of the sealer. Following the repair, the use of fuel preservation and stabilizer is recommended to maintain the fuel system's optimal condition and prevent "stale gas" issues.
