My tank has developed a corrosion leak (thanks to ethanol) and a friend had repaired his motorcycle tank with "POR 15" which is an epoxy coating for the inside of the tank. $77.00 for the kit. New tank - $250.00 +.

Have any of you ever used this product or any other one like it?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My tank is out in the open air, with air space all around including the bottom and I appreciate what it would be like if it was in the bilge. It is on a pontoon boat.

Just want to know if anyone ever used it.
