The Motorcycle gas tank I am coating has two drains at the bottom, will this clog the holes? One goes to the carb the other goes to the other tank...

Yes it can clog, important to follow instructions as they cover what to do to prevent clogging.

It sure will. You'll need to temporarily plug them, apply product and clear holes with a drill bit after product has hardened. This stuff is designed to seal pinholes and is very effective.

It depends on the size of the hole, smaller than a 1/4" could be a problem. When you have finished draining the excess red koat out of the tank, stand it on end so the holes drain out. Give it at least 48 hours to cure. Roll the tank around a couple of times during the cure to distribute any pooled material, stand the tank on end between rolls. The longer you let it cure the better.

Don't use this. It won't hold up. Try caswell plating product. Red kote will clog the holes if you keep the holes plugged while coating the tank.....you will fill with gas 3 months later and think to yourself where is all the redkote then notice your leak....red note did not work for me

Always drain the gas, unless you add the preservative, it is hard to drain, but it is. Small tank

I would make sure you have a vent on tank. I noticed on mine with a gravity feed it would drain very slow so I installed a breather. Worked great after that.

the short goes to the carb., long hoes to the tank and you have to press it in about 5 times and the first time it may be more than 5 times and if it don't work you must have a leak or your carb . needs cleaning.

Hi Anna, if this is a new tank? you may not have cleaned the gravel properly and may have to do a partial tank exchage. I have used algone in the past and has cleared the tank nicely but did notice that it does leave a slim and clogs the filter. Please let me know if that helps.

Yes it definitely has a separate drain port at the bottom of the cover. I bought one G2 cover for my Dana 30 in front & one G2 cover for my Dana 44 in the rear.Buy a proper gasket for each cover. You can still coat the gaskets with the RTV silicone, but do not rely on just the silicone, use the proper gasket also.The gaskets are inexpensive, and you'll never buy another gasket again anyway, so it is money well spent.Remember the cover is aluminum and the axle is steel, which means they expand and contract differently, so buy the gasket to put between them, don't rely on just the RTV silicone.Cheers.

Carb cleaner or hot water ... Mine got a little gunked up once and this worked

You could drill a hole (any size) but you will have to have an insert to glue into the hole with a threaded plug inside and gasket to seal it up after each filling. If you leave the hole open or the plug leaks air, the water will all drain out. I'd look to a gas filler insert used on boat gas tanks as a potential. Google Boat Supplies or Mueller (they make gas tanks for boats). There may be other inserts you can find. Just has to seal TIGHT.

Hi Marla, No, unfortunately this unit consumes the space of the whole outlet if plugged in to the bottom pluglet...however...this was a great buy for me as it detected a very small gas leak already. I strongly recommend this product.

When mine did that I had to replace the carb which was suckin air. New carb good seal...good to go. Actually I bought the wrong one the first time and still have it.

I never try it before, but if you want use it to resolve your tank problem, i think you have to drain the gas tank before, for a better result.

Tthere is a drain on both ends, lengthwise. There is no catch, the grease drains down into the grill and is caught in the drip tray.

Not if you use the holding tank. If draining it directly into a drain, yeah.

i am not a expert on this matter but the discharge comes out of the top vent and unless you adapt a vent pipe to connect to the front i would not take the chance.I err on the side of caution myself and leave the venting to the experts so i can sleep well at nights and not worry.I just follow the directions because it is gas and dont want to take a chance.I will say that i am very happy with the product and have no regrets with my choice.I am already saving money,got rid of my ugly outdoor tank and to be honest its pretty cool. I hope this helps.

Should be stainless with a drain because of the amount of moisture created during combustion. I eliminated the need for vent by using an outside model.

There are holes in the bottom of this colander. Drains well. Hope this helps in your decision. We are pleased with this product.

I agree this is an issue. Sorry, I don't have the answer. Mine does drain but is much slower than when the disposer is running. It hasn't been enough to be an problem for me.
