I could not justify 300 bucks for two new plastic military gas cans. I went with the Crown steel gas cans, but I would like to coat the insides of them so I don't have to keep the cans full of gas all of the time.

Anyone recommend a gas tank sealer that wont peel and can be bought locally??? If I can't find it locally I was thinking of the POR 15 gas tank sealer and getting it mail order.

POR15 is the only one I'm familiar with.

We've used a couple different coatings on motorcycle tanks, can't remember the brands of any of them though. I would check out some motorcycle shops, as this is a fairly common thing for them.

I think this may work, as long as my imagination doesn't get too far ahead of my skills:eek::D

Auto parts stores around here don't have it, I checked the motorcycle shop and the kit for a 3 gallon tank is 50 bucks. 4 bottles a Kreem to do the two cans would be 100 bucks since they are new and didn't need the cleaner. I ordered a quart of POR 15 gas tank sealer off of e bay for about 35 and total is 50 bucks so it is shipped to the door.

The kid at the motorcycle shop said some of the radiator shops coat gas tanks too. I might follow up when I get them done.
