TANK LINER REMOVAL

<< < (5/9) > >>

steff750:
hi that tank liner looks a lot like petseal it was used a lot years ago and before they put ethanol in the petrol if not removed it will only keep breaking down so good luck with that  ;)

Just get some of this - don't stick the PVC pipe glue in your tank or you'll be knackered..

It isn't going in the tank this product is MEK but used to glue plastic pipes together.
It is being used to see if it has any effect on the liner before I lash out £30 on MEK as I did with the Acetone  :( :(

Thanks James as above I wasn't putting that in the tank just a test to see if the MEK works as the Acetone didn't.

I have never known pure MEK to be used as pipe glue. Pipe glue contains MEK as a ingredient. Is its consistency just like pouring thinners, that's what MEK is like. Just want you to get the right stuff as in James's link.
