Tank sealant

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good tank sealant? Need to seal new stretch tank.

RE: Tank sealant

I have used Kreem for many years and think it works great, as long as you follow the directions and you don't get it in your petcock, etc.!

I've used Kreem once with good results, as long as you follow the directions and prep tank thoroughly...

RE: Tank sealant

I used Kreem on my old Yamaha's tank, it was a pain in the butt to do it right because of the big holes in the tank bottom. But once finished it did seal up all the pin holes completely.
Did it over 3 years ago and it still holds gas fine with no leaks.
Big problem I had was getting the excess stuff out after it was done. Had to drill a hole in the end and braze a nut on to make a central drain. Just needed a soft gas proof washer and the right sized screw in the nut afterwards to plug thehole. Has the added benifit of making it easy to drainthe tank now.
