How much of the POR-15 do I need to coat a 20 gallon gas tank on a 67 Plymouth?

Way more than a half pint. I'd get at least, what they recommend, maybe a half pint over. I've only done a motorcycle, but once it sets, you cannot add more. You don't want to go through all that and miss a spot. Good luck, great product. Now get that, bad boy, on the road.

I only used a couple of table spoons from an 8 oz can to do a 1 gal tiller tank. I am confident that a 16 oz can will do a 20 gal tank. You waste most of it because you roll the tank around to get a coating everywhere and then dump the remaining liquid out of the tank and pitch it. I am sure your tank has some baffles so you will need to tape up the filler and gauge holes and then shake it to get the baffles coated. Good luck. I like the product, it has had 10% ethanol gas in it for a couple of months with no deterioration. You need to mind that 96 hour cure time and maybe even run air through the tank to help dry it though. I only used a couple of table spoons from an 8 oz can to do a 1 gal tiller tank.

I have a 60-gallon. You'll need one that has enough cfm for your tasks so you're stopping painting waiting on air pressure to build back up. I bought mine at Harbor Freight 12 years ago for around $450.

When I was doing searches on this products there were several posts in forums where people did paint cars with this. I didn't read much of that because that was not my use. However, there were many threads about marine use where the product seemed to hold up really well, no complaints that I saw. Depending on your vehicle, why not give it a try. One quart gave 3 coats to about 22 sq ft.

I have a 27 foot trailer. I used a little over 4 gallons. Just make sure that you clean the roof before you put it on.

20 to 30 percent. remember higher co2 equals higher temps. Dont wait get a cylinder at a tank exchange outlet and start getting really not stress

You will need a large tank with aroud 5 horsepower motor. Probably $500 to $1000 range to supply enough air. Great paint gun

Not 100% sure. But I'll say probably about 4 or 5 gallons. It took me 3 gallons to do my 2004 tiburon. I wanted to make sure I had a thick coat on it, that way it's easy to Peel off

A gun like this runs about 25- 30 psi, with constant spraying like painting a car its about volume. I have a 6 horse with 60gal tank---two 30gal plumbed together. 30gal with a 5hp should be good for painting smaller projects, volume is what your looking for larger projects and air tools----cfm---cubic feet per minute. Good luck.

ditto to both answers. I only did a one gal generator gas tank. so it took about 1/3 of the quart. prep important and acetone all I used with the nuts and bolt shake. let it dry overnight and let it dry days before use. It worked great.

The tank that requires 22-1/2 is probably significantly older than the other tank. I have had this issue and my solution was to just cut a cheap strip of plexi-glass and glue it to the frame.

Generally after I coat a set of Harley 5 gallon tanks, I'll have enough left over to do a set of 3 gallon tanks, or a 2.5 gal Sportster tank. It's really hard to say without knowing what type of tank you are coating. I use it on lawnmower tanks, rototillers, dirt bikes, and all sorts of gas and oil tanks. I really like the stuff and haven't had a failure yet.

It took 5 gallon for me to cover a 1991 35' long Fleetwood Bounder. I don't know what that figures out to. Hope that helps.

Definitely. But be sure to follow the directions when using the marine-grade degreasing kit before applying POR-15. Use a good set of gloves; for if you get some on your skin, nothing will get it off but time... a loooong time. Sand and then fine sand the surface before starting the project. Place some kitchen Glad-wrap over any unused POR-15 and press the lid on tightly. Store it in your refrigerator for future use. This is not an ordinary product. My air handler rusted out 5 years ago, and I saved it with this amazing stuff. I can't speak too highly about it.

I found it on the Lotos web site in the manual. The CFM requirement is only 3.8. @ 66 PSI. A small compressor should do the job. Tank size will not matter if you have at least these specs.

I used it on a 15 gallon jeep tank and drained the extra which there was quite a bit.

If you are able to drain the block, heater core, resavore, and allb hoses one gallon would be plenty. Usually if the whole system is blown out with air you wont even need the prep but it is good to use to stay on the safe side.

I have a 3 year old cover that was showing signs of discoloration and loss of the ability to repel water. The cover has 384 square feet of surface area and I used a whole gallon to do a good job of coverage and just put one coat on. I used a everyday garden sprayer on a hot day (80 degrees F) and could control runs even on vertical surfaces. I plan to apply another coat of 303 next year to keep up with the weathering from storing the boat outside during the summer.
