hi all,
i have built a tank for my 12 and i have the inspection plate op the top surface. it was recommended to me that permashield #85420 would provide a fuelproof seal and be easily removeable. while fuel testing on a bench the plate leaked so i removed it and drained the tank.on the floor of the tank was a goo, looked just like honey, under the area the plate was over. i had doubts about this stuff when i put it on. comes out of the tube with very uneven consistancy, watery to thick even after trying to squeeze tube to mix it. instructions say to let stand until solvent evaporates .what the heck does that mean? i just now took some and squeezed it out in a jar of gas. within an hour the blue tint had leeched out of the product and into the fuel but the product looked white, not like honey.
so maybe i didn't use product correctly but i don't think i want to try it again and close tank up for good with thoughts of more goo in my tank.
besides proseal any recommendations for something that will allow the plate to be removed when necessary?
thanks in advance.
