Do you have to remove the ful tank to use this product?

Yes you do. You have to take the tank out, remove the sending unit and or fuel pump, etc., then wash out all the pieces of rust, dirt, etc. out of the tank. Let it dry out, then you need to seal up the holes and pour the stuff in. Once you have the POR inside the tank, you need to roll the tank around so the stuff covers all inside surfaces of the tank. You then let it cure, then reinstall. Great stuff.

The answer is yes. POR-15 is a whole tank liner. The product has to be sloshed around the whole tank in order to seal the entire surface. also the tank must be clean, rust free and super dry on the inside or it wont stick. Not for a spot repair. Hope this helps.

Yes, you have to roll the product around the inside of your tank. Unless you can pick up your vehicle and roll it around, you will need to remove your tank. After posting I see previous posters gave more detailed and helpful answers. Hope someone gets a chuckle out of mine.

Yes Eileen you most likely would have to remove it as you need to be able to pour some of the sealer into the tank and then you need to be able to rotate, twist and turn, the tank so that the liquid flows and coats all the interior of the tank. Jim

yes, you do. The tank has to be removed and thoroughly degreased. Use POR-15's Marine Clean mixed with hot water for degreasing. Then the tank should be rinsed and drained well and de-rusted before lining it with POR-15 Tank Sealer. POR-15 has a rust remover product but I've been using Metal Rescue. POR-15 Marine Clean and Tank Sealer are awesome products - to get great results it is a lot of work but worth it to save a tank.

Yes, Eileen you do. But it is not as difficult as you think. Depending on the vehicle, it usually requires laying under the (empty) fuel tank and unbolting two bolts that hold "bands" across the tank. Then drop it on your chest and disconnect fuel lines and filler hose. Then just slide it out, steam clean it, acid wash (POR 15 has this product too), then seal it following the instructions. You may want to pressure wash the under side of the vehicle before removing the tank - keep you from getting as dirty from all the under-splash.

Yes! Is the short answer. You have to be able to tilt the tank in all directions to be sure the liquid is distributed evenly and coats all of the inside of the tank!

Yes. I've had it over two months and hate to think of going. Somewhere without it. The only problem I had was hooking up the metal T connector to the plastic tube coming out of the tank. You have to be careful not to strip the plastic. Since it's.under the tank and hard to see. Just go slow and dont. Force it.

Just pull out the tank and their is a rubber attach stopper you pull out. Very simple .

No, you remove the tank and fill from the bottom. There's a useful handle on the top but not on the bottoms which I find very annoying. It's hard to hold while filling.

No, just turn the tank valve off for installation. Once installed there is a check valve in the kit that makes a seal to prevent leakage from the open hose. If using your remote tank shut the main tank valve off. This is a great setup for extended stays.

no, it does not, but you can easily empty the holding tank at botom in a regular comode. Has a 3 inch side cap that is use for this purpose.

Yes it's adjustable. And no you don't need to remove the tank. It has a knob that you push in and twist to off.

Yes it can be removed. It is not attached. It is just wedged in. It's made of styrophome - like a cheap cooler. We love the tank though.

No you must remove but totally simple. One of the BEST purchases we have made. Love it.

No, the tank must be disconnected. You then weigh it via the gauge, similar to a luggage scale. You can not leave it hooked up to the tank.

No. That would result in failure of the pump. The suction accessory if meant to be used as a fume extractor and an SMD part pick up tool with the included attachment. You must buy a solder pump or wick to remove solder.

No! Only remove the tank if you cannot handle it as one piece. I removed mine because I am a woman and did not think I could lift and place it in one piece. This is very easy to work with and can reuse it if you have a problem in the future,I will never use anything else again.You will love it.

Yes, but it may not fit so just use the one that was on the tank unless it's chewed up.

No, it does not. The tank is built into the unit. If you're going to use cleaning solution, I suggest filling the tank with water, and then getting separate containers to hold the solution and put your objects into that container. This way, you use less cleaner, and don't have to carry the whole thing to the sink to empty out the water. Plus the tank is made of stainless steel, so it's not going to rust.

It is shipped with the tank, but not installed. Will require installation at the top of the tank as per the manual.

The tank is not removable, just the plastic basket. I see no need to remove it. I use a mixture of just a little Windex and mostly distilled water. If it starts to look a little murky, I remove the basket and rinse it. Then carefully holding the cord and top out of the way, dump the contents out of one side, avoiding the control panel. Then just wipe dry.

Yes, you do need to remove the water tank to refill it. It "loads" and dispenses through the same hole at the bottom of the tank. However, you do not need to turn the unit off to do this. There is already enough water in the reservoir for the steamer to safely run while refilling the dispenser.
