I used the tank restore kit and my (Mitsu Eclipse another project) tank and it turned out like new. It was a real workout on a newer style tank with all the baffels and the constant turning and shaking of the tank but you are right it turns out like new when done. Well worth the investment.

EXCELLENT!

But as anxious as I know you are, don't be in a hurry. If it's at all damp outside give it a few more days to dry.

65 289? Be sure to watch your coolant level the fiast time you start it up!

I'm not 100% positive about the gas tank kit as I've never used one, but I know the regular POR epoxies actually cure faster in humid conditions.

Just curious, you are going to reverse the vac and blow into the tank, right? I wouldn't suck out flammable fumes with a vac and have a chance of having the fumes accumulate in the vac bucket and work themselves into the motor. That could make for a some fireworks
