Removing dodgy liner from a pristine painted tank
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The product description does not mention anything about being an Epoxy Remover aside from on the tin itself.
It just reads like a repair product to me unless I'm missing something.

I think they probably do liner coatings too Ted but this is their remover product. That chemical it contains is listed as a softener for epoxy etc.
It's related to tetrahydrofuran (THF), which I have used in the past to soften epoxy type potting of electronics assemblies.

Ted,
I agree, looks like the ebay seller has attached the wrong details to the item description.
Here's the proper instructions from their website https://www.polyservice.nl/tank-cure/1-tank-cure-epoxy-remover-2613.html
Product information
With Epoxy Remover you remove old coating and paint layers from metal moped or motorcycle tanks.
First, remove all gasoline from the tank and clean with water. Then pour the remover into the tank and close the filling opening. Shake the tank and turn it around and let the Remover work for at least a day. The coating will gradually soak and peel off the tank wall. After the Remover with coating residue has been removed, rinse the tank with water and Tank Cure Cleaner.

See previous post back to Ted. Looks pretty clear to me, and probably the chemical I would choose if hydrolysis doesn't work.

Yes I agree it's sealant remover, but looks like the ebay seller has attached the wrong details to the item description.
Please see my previous edited post for the correct details.
