foothilltom 33 Report post Posted September 27, 2009 Recall I took my tank and a neighbor's tank down to get sealed and mine turned into a disaster. Well, I warned the kid and he put gas in it and let it sit for a few days before putting it in his little Luv truck. It turned his gas red too and now he's going to get into it with the Radiator shop. So if anybody but me needed to be reminded: get a new tank before you pay $85 to get yours boiled and sealed.

02Lightning 10 Report post Posted September 28, 2009 I had the same problem with a tank I had on another car. Gas turned red on the first tank and didn't seam to hurt anything. Fine now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pakrat 1,043 Report post Posted September 28, 2009 Maybe it is harmless and most folks don't bother to inspect their gas color during the first use? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foothilltom 33 Report post Posted September 28, 2009 It's possible, I suppose, though mine had little red dots visible in the fuel filter in addition to the red color. It's probable that folks don't inspect their gas as my neighbor kid did and the pink is relatively harmless until it "goes away", but I still can't believe that anything dissolving into the gas is a good thing. It sure seemed to put me into a tailspin, but perhaps that will all be explained my something else when my engine mystery is finally solved.

02Lightning 10 Report post Posted September 28, 2009 Yea, I can't say that something being desolved into the gas would be good either but I know alot of people have there gas take sealed also with this stuff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spoofty 10 Report post Posted September 29, 2009 I had my gas tank done back in 93. Can't say that I ever noticed anything odd and it's still in the car and doing fine. But I don't think I put my tank back in right away. Can't really remember now though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spoofty 10 Report post Posted September 29, 2009 The tank I had sat for I'll bet 8 years before being used. Wow, mine wasn't that long. Maybe a week. Back then it was a huge difference in price,way less than half, that's why I did it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
