In the last few years I have seen several people use a gas tank liner coating. I just can't remember who, hopefully some of you will speak up and tell me what product you used and how it performed.
I haven't driven "Miss Smokey" in about 2 years and fought rust in the gas tanks the 5 years I drove her. I have a friend with an automotive shop and a radiator shop, he is going to clean the tanks for me. With the ethanol issues it seems like a good idea to line the tanks and redo all the lines (overdue anyway).
I am open to all suggestions on best practice in regards to ethanol and any other issues.
I will make sure I don't have clearance issues with the lines, and will probably simplify things by doing away with the canisters and separator (leaks anyway). I will probably improve the venting system also. I haven't kept up, I am wondering if there hoses that have more resistance to ethanol damage or if that is a concern for "ordinary" rubber gas lines?
If I get time I will make pictures of the tow rig and post them. I am sure it was a site to see, a Grand Cherokee towing a 26 ft GMC. I have a U-Hall bumper hitch that worked flawlessly ( Bob, I don't guess you all rent them any more, do you?). I only drove about 20 MPH but I think 30 or more would have been ok had I not been in low range.
Thanks
