Learn About The Gas Tank Renu Process
This is how we rebuild a Gas Tank with the patented process of Gas Tank Renu. It is a long and time consuming process, but nothing comes close to the quality and durability once the tank is completed. We control every aspect of the coating process, unlike the slosh coat kits that you pour a cleaner into the tank to prep and then you pray that it will clean all the rust and debris out of the tank (it never does); then you pour in the coating and put the tank out in the sun to dry then you pray that it will dry and stick to the tank so it will not lift off and plug up your fuel system (it always does). About 50% of the tanks we rebuild have already been coated before.
After the gas tank is de-fumed (cleaned) we drill holes in strategic locations to prepare for sandblasting.
