Agreed. Ignore the instructions, remove the rust and it's a good product. It's the lack of (or bordering on) truth in advertising that rubs me the wrong way.I still think it’s good stuff because it’s epoxy.

It seems that is everywhere. In this case, they could be putting their product at risk. Full disclosure, a friend f mine applied it in the same manner as it was applied to @Mailman's tank, directly over the rust and failed liner. 5+ years later and it's still doing the job. However, that's not how I would do it and I don't recommend it.It's the lack of (or bordering on) truth in advertising that rubs me the wrong way.
I put the tank in an old sleeping bag. I put pillows in the dryer to get the tank in the center of the drum. Then I stuffed it full with another sleeping bag and pillow. I let it spin there for 60 minutes after making sure it was turning with zero detected vibration. I reoriented the tank and ran it another hour.jetmechmarty, I was thinking about the clothes drier the other day. Is the tank wrapped up so it is not free to move in the drier i.e. it is rotating rather than tumbling about?
Thank you.
Yes, the dome metal is pretty thin. Just keep checkin' as you torque. The stud will imprint the dome if you bottom out. If the shape of the dome doesn't change at full torque, you're golden.I am not sure if it's been mentioned but the washers need to be 1/8" thick to avoid too much thread having to be taken up by the Acorn nuts. If you use a thin washer the extra gain in thread length might bottom out in the Acorn nut and prevent the torque being set correctly, or pop the dome off the Acorn.
Thanks as always guys !Yes, the dome metal is pretty thin. Just keep checkin' as you torque. The stud will imprint the dome if you bottom out. If the shape of the dome doesn't change at full torque, you're golden.
Thats kinda what I thought
Turn it to Prime. It opens without the vacuum then.What do you do when you want to balance the carbs as far as the petcock goes
Thanks!! One day I'll go from a mild mannered parts replacer to a parts adjusterTurn it to Prime. It opens without the vacuum then.
