If its an older repair try petrol as the ethanol in todays mix seems to attack all the old style repairs!!!!(and fibreglass tanks)

Trigger:
Someone has put resin in the tank for a reason. The last tank i had cleaned due to rust was soda blasted, with great result. Don't know if there is any chemical on the market that can shift resin or what ever it is.

I have had electronics devices for my business potted in epoxy resin de-potted chemically but its pretty nasty stuff. Can find out for you though if you like. May have been Tetrahdrofuran (THF) I think.

 ;)  yes Bryan is right just keep using the the tank the ethanol will destroy that and any fibre glass tanks, the EU has given the go ahead for more ethanol to be added next year happy days to come I think lol ,last year a guy showed me some stuff he pulled out a petrol tank he was working on that had been lined with resin it looked like brown sugar and it made a real mess of the fuel system
 only the weekend I was pulling sheets of the stuff  out of my sidecar tank it was petseal in my case sealed it back in the eighties on top of rust hopefully my tank wont leak anytime soon I'm just waiting for the blocked carb jets now  ::)
