Re: How to remove old pour in gas tank liner
Xylol is also strong stuff for dissolving things like dried paint. Put a dry, hardened paint brush in a can of Xylol overnight and the brush will come out like new. I put a painted, greasy part in a 1/4" thick-wall polyethelyne container filled with 5 gallons of Xylol overnight and in the morning the container was empty and the garage stunk to high heaven. The Xylol ate its way right through the container! Most of it had evaporated and I had to keep the doors open with a fan going for a week to get rid of the smell.
I have not tried it on gas tank sealer but I would be surprised if it did not remove all the sealer very quickly. Ventilate the area well and use a steel, glass or stone container. |

I guess, when when you're done and inspect the tank with a scope, are you really going to be certain that you've got it all cleaned out? Don't forget, also, the expense of disposing of the chemicals and flush. You might have to pay for hazardous waste disposal as well, if you are responsible. Lots of effort no matter which road you take. |
