Phenol
Novolac Epoxies are a new breed of chemical resistant
materials, able to withstand permanent immersion of
many harsh solvents, fuels and oils. This Epoxy has
much better bond strength than single component products,
with strengths of up to 3000 PSI, and this higher strength
reduces the need for a clinically clean surface, as
the epoxy actually prefers to bond to a rough rusty
surface. Our new phenol novolac is more thixotropic,
which means it 'hangs' on the tank walls
during the coating process. This gives a thicker overall
coating. There is more volume of material in the kit
to allow for this.

What else can you use Gas Tank Sealer for?
- A corrosion and chemical resistant coating. ie: battery compartments.
- A high strength adhesive where plenty of working time is needed.
- A potting compound, to encapsulate electronics
- A non-skid surface, just bed in aluminum oxide.
- Relining old potato peeler machines (Hobart type) - coat liner and bed in aluminum oxide.
- Repair leaks in concrete vessels. Add fine sand to make a mortar.
- Bonds to almost anything except polyethylene. Bonds to wood, plastic, rubber, concrete, metals.
- Making high quality molds - virtually no shrinkage on curing.
- Thin cross section repair of sheared parts, such as; broken cups, dishes, or a split leg on a chair.

Application Instructions
All traces of oil and gasoline should first be removed
by pouring about 1 pint of acetone or lacquer thinner
into the tank, and rotating the tank several times to
thoroughly sluice the sides with solvent. Dispose of
the contaminated solution.
When recoating your gas tank from failed Kreem or POR-15 tank sealers, remove the old, failed coating using a paint stripper containing Methylene Chloride.
Place a hand full of drywall screws into the tank
and shake them around vigorously for several minutes.
These will dislodge any loose particles of rust. In
the case of Fiberglass and plastic tanks, this will
rough up the tank interior, improving adhesion.
Rinse out the tank with about 1-pint of acetone or
lacquer thinner, then set aside and allow to dry. Use
an airline to blow air into the tank to aid drying.
Apply duct tape or masking tape to any weeping seams,
holes or porous areas. This will stop any Gas Tank Sealer
from oozing out, and will allow it to bridge over the
hole. Plug the outlet ports with putty or Play-Doh.
Mix up the required amount of Gas Tank Sealer (one unit
should treat two x five gallon tanks) If you are only
treating ONE 5 gal (or smaller) tank, then divide parts
A & B in half. You could use a dipstick to gauge
this.
In a separate plastic container (margarine tub etc.)
mix the two parts together thoroughly for at least 2
minutes. Scrape around the sides to ensure all resin
is blended together. BAD MIXING AND BAD MEASURING IS
THE #1 CAUSE OF FAILURE!!
Pour into the tank, then immediately seal up the filler
hole with Gladwrap and an elastic band. Swill the tank
around in every direction for several minutes to obtain
a good layer of Gas Tank Sealer over all surfaces. Remove
the filler cap,Gladwrap seal, and pour out any excess.
Allow to drain upside down for a few minutes.
If you have a built in fuel filter, blow air into the
fuel line port for about 10 minutes. This will clear
the filter of any Gas Tank Sealer.
Scrape off any excess with a sharp knife at this point
(usually about 40-60 Min after mixing) Place the tank
in a warm 70-90 f place and allow to cure overnight.
In the case of alcohol fuels, allow 3-5 days at room
temperature, or 24 hours at 120 deg f.
1 Pint Of Epoxy Gas Tank Sealer coats up to 2 x 5 gal
tanks
A few weeks ago you sent me your gas tank sealer
kit. In the meantime, I have tried it and I just wanted
to tell you that IT'S A GREAT PRODUCT! It worked perfectly
well! Now I have a perfect gas tank again for about
40 US$ (including spray paint etc.). A local repair
shop wanted about 1000 bucks (no kidding!) for welding
and repainting the tank . So, I guess I made a good
deal. Thanks a lot for providing such a great product
and also for your excellent service.
Best regards,
Aldo Hoermann
