TANK LINER REMOVAL

(1/9) > >>

paul G:
Hi all,
          As title I have a tank that has been lined, this must have been more than 30 yrs ago as the bike was taken off the road in 1983.
This is now coming off and looks to be clear ish light brown so not sure what/which brand it was.
I have tried various chemicals on it but no luck Acetone, Thinners, Starchem paint remover and nothing will touch it.
Also talked to a couple of dip and strip companies but they will not guarantee their dipping chemical will work.
I have also talked to a local company I use for powder coating they have a dipping tank to remove old powder coat and he has tried a couple of times with tanks he has and it did not remove it.
So just wondering if anyone has a miracle cure to get the bloody stuff out.

The US site recommends MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone)(nasty stuff...read the warnings), but maybe that's already been tried.
I have a pristine tank with a very poor Kreem liner. Someday I'm going to have a go with acetone on that.

Acetone did nothing on mine  :( P.S do you want to buy 5lt ;D ;D

Plumbing supplies for plastic pipe joint chemicals should get you a convenient supply of mek solvent to try and dissolve a sample.

Be careful with MEK it is used in my industry (Aviation) and will knock you out with the vapours, good stuff tho ;D
