Hi gang
I built a fuel tank for a boat a few years ago from general purpose
polyester resin. I was worried about fuel dissolving the resin so I set out
to find a coating for the inside of the two halves before bonding it
together. what I found at a local paint shop was a food grade two part
coating that is resistant to just about everything including acids and the
like. It comes in two or three colours in order for you to be sure that the
first coat covers the surface completely and the same for the second coat.
It has now been about two years and has had fuel in it all the time with
absolutely no signs of degradation. The stuff is also as tough as hell. I
have forgotten the name but i can find out if anybody is interested.
