I have just acquired a fibreglass Interstate tank and it would appear as if someone has tried to line the inside of the tank using fibreglass resin. I have been able to chip away quite easily what i can see and reach through the gas filler . I tried soaking a sample piece in gasoline to see if it would dissolve but no luck. I took another piece and soaked it for 4 hours in Acetone. While it did not dissolve the piece it did crumble when i tried to pick it up .. My question would be ...... How long could i safely leave a solution of acetone in the tank for before it damaged the tank composition itself? Secondly , for those who have relined their own tanks using Redkote,Caswell or any other of the sealers, could i get a suggestion as to which one may be the best and which ones to stay away from. I'd certainly be interested in anyone's thoughts or experiences in getting this resin out of the tank.
Thanks in advance
