The current magazine features an article about the restoration of a '30 Deluxe Phaeton, and in it, the owner states that he had his gas tank "relined". Does anyone have an inkling as to what that terminology means?

another term for having the tank sealed

Yes John had the tank sealed and works out great.

POR15 has a nice kit for sealing the gas tank we reviewed it several years ago have about 6 years and 35,000 miles of driving with out a problem.

I "sealed" both of my gas tanks with a kit I purchased from one of the Model A dealers. Has worked great.

I used the POR 15 marine clean , metal ready and sealer in my 31 tudor, 14 years ago and its holding good.

I sealed the tank in my Roadster around 5 years ago and have had no further problems. You can buy the materials from Brattons or Snyders.

The tank in the article was chemically stripped cleaned and a phenolic coating was baked on by a local radiator shop. We have also used (after chemically stripping the inside and out side a product from Bill Hirsch, a gas tank sealer with very good results.
