Tank Sealer News

I noticed a very strong gasoline smell coming from my garage one day,I Started looking around at all my toys and noticed my motorcycle gas tank was leaking.
I started looking online for a new one(Ebay)first,All I could find was used ones that where dented and beat up for $300.00 to $500.00 range,As my bike is a 1989 they are a rare find.
I then went to some online motorcycle forums to see what other people where doing to fix their tanks and came across the KBS Coatings name as being one of the best repair options out there. There is a few other companys offering tank sealer kits but KBS was rated as a much better product to use. So I ordered the 3 part system kit and was pretty easy to do. The Aquaklean and Rustblast formulas work very well. It started off with a pin hole leak and ended up with roughly 10 more when I was done the 1st two processes,I ended up ordering their NuMetal Epoxy to be sure the holes where filled before sealing was put in. All said and done about 10%cost 0f a new tank,It is a real good deal and very easy process to do.

“I own a 71 Moto Guzzi that I’ve been painstakingly rebuilding. Well, I sent the gas tank out to be pressure tested and sealed prior to doing anything on the bike. I got it back and you could see the coating. Well, after several years and getting the bike painted we got her back together and on our maiden voyage we discovered a leak in the tank. Well what can i do? It’s been several years sense I had it painted. Well a friend told me of your product. I purchased it and after following the directions to the “t” I can’t be any happier. I would and do recommend this product to anybody that has a leak!”

“Your truly a very happy gonzo!”

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE THAT WILL BE REWARDED…

Over the years, one of the BEST TIPS that we can give to people who are sealing a tank is to BE PATIENT. Proper prep and sealing IS NOT a lunch hour project. The KBS 3 Step System works perfectly if the Instructions are followed which includes:

• Be Patient and allow the AquaKlean the time to thoroughly dissolve all the oily fuel residues before rinsing.
• Be Patient and allow the RustBlast to soak and disintegrate the rust in your tank before rinsing.
• Be Patient while waiting for the tank interior to dry completely as the tank can NEVER be too dry!
• Be Patient and allow the tank to cool to room temperature before applying the sealer.
• Be Patient when sloshing the sealer around to insure complete coverage.
• Be Patient when draining any & all excess sealer from the tank.
• Be Patient while waiting for the sealer to cure.

“I own an independent Harley Davidson motorcycle repair shop. I have used KBS coatings for a long time and have found your products to be way above the rest.

At the present time I am working on a 1953 Indian Chief restoration. Someone previously used and inferior product to seal the tank. Needless to say it is peeling off inside. I have full confidence the KBS stripper will remove all the old sealer, so I can properly re-seal this tank with the 3 step process. Thus allowing this old Indian Chief to roar to life once again.

I wouldn’t trust anything else but KBS for this valuable antique.”
