=0A=0ABob, Sounds like you already-answered your own question. Por 15 is
the only slosh I'd use. I used it on a motorcycle tank with similar results
as you. I used Kreem on a street rod tank-and had it come off in large p
atches.-But, I wouldn't use slosh unless I had to. There is no way to be
sure the tank is completely preped. Plastic gas cans are so inexpensive tha
t even slosh would cost more. =0A=0APat Reilly=0AMod 3 582 Rebuilt=0ARockfo

=0A>-i am leaning more lately to hauling 93 octane from a gas station to
=0Amy hangar. i usually fill from the mogas pump at my airport and haul bac
k to the =0Ahangar in 5 gal cans anyway. got started on this while calibrat
ing fuel gauges, =0Ameasuring fuel cap. etc. and now find it no more troubl
e than taxiing to the =0Apumps. plus station gas is 2 octane higher[no etha
nol like airport fuel] and =0A$.70/ gal cheaper. =0A>-anyway.............
....what is anyones experience sloshing metal =0Acontainers? i did a por 15
on a cycle tank once and was satisfied, no problems =0Ain years. i would n
ever pour from these tanks. i have a pump set up with a glass =0Afilter.i t
hink i have read tank looks clean after the cleaner must coat it =0Aanyway.
i have several gerry cans and outboard tanks that would work well and i
=0Athink more crash proof than plastic but all haven't been used in years a
nd have =0Asome rust now. =0A>-then again 5 gal. plastic cans are only $1
