Tank lining - how effective?

(1/3) > >>

mickandsej:
After a rudimentary (epoxy) quick refurb on a tank I obtained, with Rostio two pack treatment, it’s all started leaking. As with most old tanks I think it’s probably too thin to mig the holes.
Would a quality liner be a good move? It’s already been de rusted and enamelled. Currently drying out in the garage.

To be honest I have had mixed outcomes with lining. I had one completely fail on the first contact with a petrol pump and that was done by a professional painter. I have another in use at the moment done by a specialist in Devon that appears to be good, the downside is it cost £200 to do. If you can find one a replacement new or used tank is the way to go. Sounds like your tank is at the end of the road anyway. Best of luck.

well, judging by my recent experience, I wouldn't worry too much, the 750 tanks seems to look pretty good and fits well.  I might weld my old tank sometime but I'm in no hurry.

florence:
and there are some real chancers out there, look at this beauty, bound to leak.

Blimey Florence, you would have to do it up to scrap it.
