Rover 220 Project

I got this from Frontstore Oamaru ~$200

Stage 1 Degreasing. Use supplied degreasing fluid with warm water and agitate the tank. The drained liquid looked like beer. This gets rid of fuel residue and silt.

Rinse with water and allow to dry.

Stage 2 Rust neutraliser and surface preparation. Pour in solution and rotate tank for even coverage. Takes 30min or more if required but don’t allow to dry out.

Rinse and wash thoroughly with water. The tank must be completely dry after this step before using sealer.

Stage 3 Pour Sealer in to tank. A silver paint that is resistant to all fuel types when cured. The tank will need to be rotated, gyrated and flipped to get the interior surfaces completely covered. Use compressed air to blow out small breathers in the tank so they are not blocked. It took me about an hour before I was satisfied all the interior was coated. Drain as much of the paint out as possible. It now takes about 4 days to cure. Place in warm dry spot.

The kit will do one med to large tank such as Rover but one kit did the Austin 8 and Allegro.

Thanks, Graeme
