Anyone had any luck lining a fuel tank?

I did the CB400 superfour over 12months ago with the POR15 kit to stop a leak under the paint from a previous repair someone had done and it has been very successful saving having to have a full repaint.

ST1100:
Had a CX500 tank in pretty bad shape, cleaned (gravel & shake, then high pressure/steam wash, fully dried out with heat-gun on low, rinsed with brake cleaner, vented that for a week) and used the Por 15 stuff on it like three years ago, still holds up nicely...

Matt_Harrington:
I'm with Ted, Evaporust worked really well for me. The problem with the brick acid is that is does work but the fumes will corrode any steel nearby (It's Hydrochlotric acid, don't ya know!)
If, however, the tank is really rusty, then that maybe the best to start off with and as Roo says, outside! As for Petseal and the like, I think the products are now ethanol safe but not sure.

Laverdaroo:
They say they are as that’s the main question fired at them in their website, the tanks I’ve used it on are all still spot on. It’s the cost of the evaporator that did it for me as I couldn’t spend that much.
The last kit I used had tank eching gubbins in it, a metal prep and summut else I can’t remember, and the tin of liner. Quite good I thought…

I was toying with the idea of using white vinegar, some good results on YouTube.
