The very best thing to use is some stuff called Red Kote. It is what all the radiator shops use to line tanks and radiators. I buy it by the gallon. You can probably call your local radiator shop and pick some up. It is very thick, and I have never had it fail on me yet. The Kreem stuff is like throwing your money in the wind, if you ask me. Hope that helps

Like I had posted earlier, I know that kreem is sensitive to details (more or less crap) and have not heard much good about red kote (as far as gas tank applications). Don't get me wrong, they are great products when lining a new tank but an abused 84 really tests a product.

The Red Kote is the best by far. Look at what the pros use, and you will find they use this stuff. I have used them all, and believe me, this stuff does what its suppose to do. Good luck
