Hey Guys, I want to install the full-race fuel sump on my EG gas tank. What's the best way of taking the tar off the bottom of the tank? My welder wants me to remove that black tar looking thingy first before he weld my sump on there. he said he don't want to smell that crap ha! ha! Can I remove it by using scraper or maybe die grinder? Please I need your advice if you don't mind. Thank you guys.

 

try acetone, or a scrape, or a combitnation. you can use a die grinder bu make sure there is no gas left in the tank becuase if you get a spark yu could have a fire.

 

try this, you can buy it at any auto parts store.

 

and a wire wheel instead of a grinder

 

wire wheel, all the way.

 

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll try using that aircraft remover and probably use the wire wheel to clean it all the way off.

All you really need is the wire wheel. Then just clean the bare metal with some acetone.

 

i used a razor blade wire wheel and some air craftstripper wasnt the funnest thing iv ever done

 

all I used was one of those rough textured, red in color, grinding pads.. It took it down to bare metal in a just a few passes.. Worked great! Oh I got it at Autozone I think..

that stuff works GREAT!!! used it a little while ago, the undercoating/tar just scrapes right off. just make sure you have a trash can with a bag in it as it will make a mess if you don't have someplace to put the gunk. wire wheel works fine, but makes everything in a 10 ft. radius covered in the undercoating ( I still have a shirt with the stuff on it from like 6 monthes ago )

 

Wire wheel

 

just go by a new gas tank there like 100 bucks

don't get this **** on your skin, you'll be hating life. definitely do not do this while in a thong or speedos.

and definitely make sure to not wear this shirt.
