Does anyone have any experience of using tank sealers. I have been reading about a product called slosh which is resistant to ethanol, which is becoming more commonplace, particularly here in France.

Re: Tank sealers
I used POR15 and whilst a long winded process (lots of sloshing about and draining processes), it has worked very well. I wouldn't hesitate to use it again.

Cheers Garry.
Do you know if it works with ethanol as I understand it can cause a problem for tank sealers?

Re: Tank sealers
The world market has several manufactures of several different tank sealers. I am sure that atleast one of them will be suitable for high ethanol content fuel.
I think there should be details on the side of product to say if it is ethanol resistant. Petseal is (was) used by motorcyclists for their petrol tanks, but I don't know if it has been updated for modern fuels yet.
There is this stuff as http://www.eclecticproducts.com/sealall.htm
Have a look at this page for more variations:-

I have to say, I only have experience of the Petseal and that was on motorcycle tanks many years ago.

Re: Tank sealers
Your "slosh" sealer according tot he blurb should be fine as long as you follow their instructions about cleaning the tank beforehand. I have just read the page :-
http://www.rust.co.uk/0002-slosh-ethano ... l/p405062/
If they have been using it for 2 years on 100% ethanol without trouble then it should cope with modern fuels.
Not a personal recommendation (yet), I really ought to seal my tank as I am starting to get "bits" in the fuel filter which I don't think are dust! / grit blown it whilst filling up!
