You're gonna' love this- One of my suppiers turned me on to a product to line the fiberglass tanks I have in a day cruiser I'm restoring. The stuff works unbelievably well and was easy to use. Clean the tanks out with soapy water, then a quick wash/etch with acetone, then splash this stuff on and you can add fuel n 24 hours. Works like a dream.

No fuel in the bildge. Its not too bad yet. Just a few chips in the filters for now. What do you think. Bladders,aluminum. Not too big on the re-surfacing deal. Don't want to add to the problem. Ya think?

Some people just can't resist! I have an account with a company that supplies industry leaders products and info. The only thing I "love" is that you just can't stay away. YOU REALLY GOT ME. WHAT WILL I DO NOW? Oh please can I have the name of that super secret miracle product? Get real!!
