Hi! I just discovered that I had rust on the top of my fuel tanks, Does somebody have any suggestion about the kind of rust stopper
and epoxy to use.

Luc,

Here in the oil field a liquid called CHEMPRIME , gal is abt $6 is
sloshed on the steel after it is wire brushed clean of loose rust and
paint. let this dry and paint. Avail in serious paint stores.
I have used it for yrs.
It is also good to clean stainless fittings.

Hi! I just discovered that I had rust on the top of my fuel tanks, they
where painted over rust by the previous owner. Now my job is to scrape
the old paint (rust) and treat the metal before I epoxy the top of the
tanks. Does somebody have any suggestion about the kind of rust stopper
and epoxy to use.
Thank You in advance
