KREEM FUEL TANK LINER
is designed for use as a preventive
maintenance product in
metal tanks new and old; containing
gasoline, gasohol, or diesel. KREEM TANK LINER has a
unique formulation with extremely rapid
set-up that prevents leakage from hairline cracks and
seam pinholes by coating the tank’s inner
surface with a fuel resistant elastomer. Not for plastic
tanks. KREEM is NOT compatible with all
fiberglass tanks. You must spot test before use.
Read the Kreem “how to” brochure for
detailed application instructions.
Supplied as a liquid, quickly cures to a
tough, white elastomer compound. This newly-advanced formula
offers
better adhesion, faster set-up, and
smoother finish. Resists leaded and unleaded gasoline, gasohol,
octane
boosters, and fuel additives at
recommended concentrations
DESCRIPTION; Pint Part A & 1/2 Pint Part B
Dissolves Rust – Etches Metal
KREEM Tank Prep is a two part system to prepare metal fuel
tanks before
coating with KREEM FUEL TANK LINER.
Used as directed Tank Prep will remove rust and etch metal
surface
to ensure maximum adhesion.
Application;
1. Read warning statements on this label and on Part
B label.
2. Remove the tank from the vehicle, remove any valves and petcocks and stop all outlets.
3. Wash out tank with hot soapy
water. If the tank is badly rusted and has loose flaky rust add
stones or nuts
and bolts to agitate to remove loose
rust.
4. For new tanks, it is
important to remove oily protective coating before using Tank
Prep. An industrial strength
detergent or commercial
degreaser/cleaner like KREEM’s New Tank Cleaner/Degreaser or
acetone should be used.
5. Pour Tank Prep A into tank
and add 5 gallons of warm water. Tank Prep A works best when
tank is completely full and in contact
with all metal surfaces. If this is not possible you should
turn
the tank to different positions so that
the solution has extended contact with all metal surfaces.
6. Leave Tank Prep A in the tank
until all the rust is dissolved and the metal is etched to a
dull gray finish.
The time required will depend on the
amount of rust in the tank. New tanks can be etched in 4 hours.
Rusty tanks will take longer; we
suggest overnight.
ALLOW TANK TO VENT. DO NOT ALLOW PRESSURE TO BUILD UP!
7. Drain Tank Prep A solution
into a plastic container and check tank. If all rust is removed
proceed to step B. If rust is still
present add saved Tank Prep A solution to tank again until
rust is removed.
8. Flush the tank with clean
water until rinse water no longer foams and all traces of Tank
Prep are removed. Remove all excess water.
9. Immediately rinse tank
interior with full-strength Tank Prep B and agitate to ensure
thorough treatment.
Drain out all excess Tank Prep B.
10. Immediately seal the tank with KREEM FUEL TANK LINER according to label directions.
It is critical that the inside
of the tank have an oil-free surface without rust to insure
proper adhesion.
We recommend Kreem Tank-Prep Kit A &
B, our two part system for rust removal and metal etching.
1. Wash out tank with hot soapy
water. If the tank if badly rusted and has loose flaky rust add
stones or
length of basic hardware chain and
agitate to remove the loose rust. For new tanks it is important
to remove the oily
protective coating. An industrial
strength detergent, or a commercial degreaser/cleaner like
KREEM’s
new Tank Cleaner/Degreaser, acetone,
M.E.K. should be used.
2. After completing step 1, and
to obtain maximum adhesion, the surface rust should be removed
and
the metal surface etched, this can
be accomplished by using Kreem Tank Prep A & B Kit, or some
other acid based rust remover that
also etches metal. Repeat if necessary until all rust is
removed.
3. Rinse tank with water until
all traces of Tank-Prep A (acid etch) are removed. Drain out
excess water.
Using Tank-Prep B (acetone or M.E.K.)
rinse thoroughly removing trace amounts of water.
CAUTION: these chemicals are flammable.
The tank is now ready for immediate coating.
1. Shake or stir well before use. Keep container tightly
closed when not in use.
Stop all outlets except fill spout.
2. Pour Liner into tank and
coat entire inner surface by slowly rotating tank in all
directions.When all surfaces
have been completely coated, a
generous excess should remain. Let tank stand for 8-10 minutes
with spout
open, then close spout and slowly
rotate tank allowing excess to re-coat all surfaces. Let tank
stand for an
additional 8-10 minutes with spout
open however, this time on a different side. Repeat this until
the tank has the
desired coating. Do not allow coating
to drain to one area and dry. Drain off excess coating for
later use.
3. Drain any excess, remove all
stops and allow to air-dry in a well ventilated area for at
least 24 hours. A nozzle
from a low pressure air compressor
blowing lightly into the fuel spout and out another opening
will greatly
reduce setup time.
4. For extra protection, air-dry first coat for 6 hours or longer and repeat step 2 of application process.
