Kreem Fuel Tank Liner

[POOLBOY]

I cleaned my tank as per the direction's, and lined it with KREEM.It was easy, and it did a wonderful job.
How long does it need to dry??
It has been in there for three week's,now,and the smell of "Acetone, or MEK" will still knock you down if you stick yer nose in the tank.I had a small computer fan blowing into the fill opening for over a week.
I dont want to put fuel into the tank untill it is ready, and in northern Illinois, I still have some time.
Just wondering.

I used Kreem with good results. I ran an aquarium pump into my tank for a day and then started using it. Yours should be plenty cured.

tank liner

I've only seen one person use liquid type tank liner.He did not have good luck.It was on a custom harley.Was out ridding his bike when the problems started.It seems the gas ate the lining away.(or should i say started mixing with) then it stopped his bike. Had to have a new fuel tank new carb new lines and motor rebuilt. That was on a bike that was just rebuilt Personaly i dont want to go through anything like that.Thats just me though.

KREEM

Interesting.I bought my KREEM product at the local "Hog Heaven"
It appears that you could really screw up if you dont follow the directions.Kreem appears to be similar to what aircraft people call "dope", that is plastic(acitate) desolved in a thinner(mek/acetone??)It did a great job of sealing my rusty tank, my hardwood floor, and my sink in the kitchen. I cant say about desolving in gas, but it takes a long time to dry(gas off).Aircraft "dope" is fuel proof. I couldnt find a source for a new gas tank for my 23 year old scoot.

I've used Kreem on two separate occasions, and had good results both times. The first time was 13 years ago on SWMBO's first ride. 450 NIghthawk. The tank had developed a few pinholes and was leaking on to the engine. Kreemed it, and had no problems. The second time was 9 years ago on her new ride, FJ1100. It seems the PO had Kreemed the tank before. As she was riding it home after buying it, it 'ran out of fuel' 20 miles after filling the fuel tank. We limped it home, and de-fueled the tank. I removed it, and pulled the petcocks. They looked ok, no crud in the screens. I looked inside through the petcock holes and saw something strange. It looked like a sheet of plastic was was in the tank. After pulling enough of this material out with hemostats and needle nose pliers, to make a ball the size of a tennis ball, I determined that it was the Kreem liner. Seems the PO hadn't followed the directions properly, and it became unadhered from the top of the tank, floated down over the petcock, restricting the fuel flow. I called a few local bike shops and asked how to get the stuff out of the tank. Nobody knew to how to remove it, just how to install it. I went to the local Honda shop, got the manufacturers phone number from a bottle of the product, and called them. They said to dissolve it with Acetone. It worked. I bought a new Kreem kit, and followed directions to a T. I used a hand held hair drier to dry the tank. Just left the petcocks off, and duct taped the drier to the filler neck and let her go for a few hours. Reapplied the Kreem, and have had no problems since.
