RE: [SPAM] Re: [Chrysler300] gas opinion

Hello Group, Don has a very interesting point. To be able to spray
something inside the tank when empty would probably work, so long as the
product has a low flashpoint. This would enable the product to ignite as
gasoline would, since the gas would emulsify the product when introduced
to the tank when it's time to re-fill.. The answer to that question of "
What can I use"? Well I do have a suggestion. There is a product
manufactured by "WYNN'S" called "Viscotene" part # 80608. it is a spray
lubricant that actually clings to the surface that it's applied to and
stays there. The big factor here is that it has a flashpoint of 14
degrees Farenheit making it extremely flammable. Only thing needed to
figure out here is how to get it to coat the entire tank. It is a spray
and you can attach a spray straw to the nozzle. Please note that I have
never tried this application but I figured it may be worth the test.
Since I have some of this stuff I'm going to give it a shot in the
future and also notify Wynn Oil Co and maybe they can come up with
something. I'm sure that a company as old as Wynn's would always want to
expand the uses of a product!

Bob,

I would think that unless you create a vacuum inside the tank, and
ensure that absolutely no air can get in, the air that is in there or
gets in there would result in condensation in cooler weather.  The
resulting water would still present a rusting problem.

Might be worth trying.  However, how would one know if it worked?  It
might take years to know if the tank develops a rust problem and then
only find out about it if the corrosion gets bad enough to result in a
leak.

Another thought.  If you could find a way to spray a fine mist of light
oil into the tank so that it coats the entire inside surface, rust would
be minimized at least.  Not sure how one would do that however.

You have opened up an interesting thread.  Should get some innovative
replies.

  In days of old I stored cars with a full tank of gas with the idea a
full 
  tank should prevent tank rust.

  Then the chemistry of gasoline changed and it would sour, so I added
fuel 
  stabilizer.......and so far so good.

  Now that gas prices are high I wonder why I can't store cars with
tanks 
  empty, with vents and filler tubes plugged?  There shouldn't be any
rusting 
  if air can't circulate.....and no gas to go sour.

  Has anyone done this with success?
