Hello,
My tank has gotten pretty rusty over time and I'm ready to retro a plastic tank. I would use a pour in liner but there are two issues; Deisel tanks are real tricky to get clean. Red Kote recommends sand blasting. How can you do that?? Send issue is that the first tank was "partially" coated with Red Kote and you can't re-coat with out total removal of the first coat. Red Kote tech help recommended filling tank with solvent. Both expensive and having 12 gal of nasty stuff at the end.
So I'm thinking of just modifying the tractor to use a poly tank. I have one standard on my Kubota and of course it has been clean from day one. Anyone know of a source of poly tanks? The link below is one site but only 2 sizes. I could fit the 6 gal version. Just wanting a bigger selection
