Re: Question 12v in 5v out
For my car in Alaska, that was kept in the snowbank from Sep to May every winter (yes winter is a 9 month season there, the other season is mosquito), I would simply fill the tank with gas, use a can to top it absolutely to the cap so no air headspace at all, put the cap on and leave. NEVER had any water condensate in the fuel.

There are ZERO reviews of how it performs years later. Every one only talks about how "nice" it looked after application.Hobcobble wrote: ↑Sun Jan 24, 2021 3:57 pmHow about something like this?

I would NEVER use a tank liner/sealer. Have seen too many tanks full of crap from when it breaks down and peels off. Just shipped a nice, shiny inside, tank to Ben who tried the "sealer" on his HPP resto that all peeled off after a few yrs. That stuff is only good if you can afford to do the job twice, rather than right.

We used Eastwoods tank sealer for my dad's '56 TR3 about 14 years ago....
Seems to still be working alright.

Re: Question 12v in 5v out
I was mistaken. I was under the impression the tank was being stored OUT of the vehicle WITHOUT the sender installed nor hooked up to the fuel lines.

That was a hypothetical case on my part as to how I would store a tank for a long sleep.
