I don’t believe MEK or acetone is going to touch a Caswell liner. It’s not solvent based, but epoxy. Yes, either one will dissolve all or most solvent based liner.FYI... The best way to remove a failed liner is to use a chemical called MEK. Much stronger than Acetone. I have used it on several old liners and MEK softens the liner so that it can be removed in almost one piece. If you leave the chemical in too long it will turn the liner to a gummy mess.
Well crap....
Hope the tank holds up.
Take til after Christmas to cool off.
A lot of things DID go right, you have the correct tank with good looking paint in your possession. There's at least a chance this new epoxy liner will stick.
You have a great story to tell.
It wasn't the post office's fault.
And it's a good thing you moved, your old neighborhood has assholes in it now.
Might want to get that tank out in the sun a few days at all different angles before installing it.
If it had happened to me, the one thing that I'd really like to know is what liner was used. Depending on the answer, it might help determine what to do or expect next.
First of all that is a shit packaging job. I would expect more care from a reputable paint shop.
I agree with Marty, the liner does look like Caswell's blue tinted sealer. At least they spent the extra $10 for the color!
Should be fine.
In defense of the neighbor, the package was in the trunk, which is reasonable if he was taking it to FedEx. He said his daughter opened it. He could be lying. It is Christmas time. He didn’t say how old the daughter is. Kids get excited about packages this time of year. So, he’s either a lying SOB, or completely legitimate.

Amateur.
Just FYI, there is 1 guy in oklahoma that does tank coating for everyone. It is a radiator shop, and they are slow. But they never used blue tinted liner, it was an offwhite/cream color. And they would get the rust out before coating.
They have done several for me. Have never had a failure. They just take a couple of months. I try to get them my tank at the start of my projects.Just FYI, there is 1 guy in oklahoma that does tank coating for everyone. It is a radiator shop, and they are slow.
