Just wondering if anyone has used POR-15 tank cleaner/sealer as per this link: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142550397426
Presently have the tank off the tourer as I knew it was dirty (four inline filters filthy in 100 Miles).
Have flushed the tank with hot water a few times, so most of the loose dirt/rust has now gone. Have done the old trick of nuts
and washers in the tank and spent an hour shaking, but due to the design of the tank there is one third section which cannot
be accessed. but suspect it will be as dirty or dirtier than the other two sections I can see into.
POR-15 comprises a degreaser(used first), metal preparation (second), then tank sealer to form a coating over the inside of the tank.
My only concern is the filter in the bottom of tank. Large filter, but will POR-15 block it ?.
Have asked the question to the suppliers but no answer so far.
