40 Gallon Tank Stripped

Featured Replies

I have a 40-gal tank that needs to have the interior coating stripped, prep'd, and coated. Do you have a kit that contains the stripper to remove the factory coating? Do you have a video of the process?
This is a 2001 ford 7.3L diesel F-450 truck.

To strip out a 40 gallon tank, you will want to get (1) gallon of KBS Strip. The directions for stripping an old coating out of your tank are as follows:

Use KBS Strip for the most effective removal of an old failed coating. Pour some KBS Strip into tank and carefully rotate tank to allow contact with all sides. It may take multiple applications of KBS Strip to finish the job completely. Old Sealer may come loose in big chunks or small pieces so use a long tweezers-type tool to help remove it from the tank. After stripping is complete, rinse tank generously with water and proceed with the KBS 3-Step System for Fuel Tank Preparation & Sealing. (NOTE: When stripping a Fiberglass Tank, surface contact with the stripping agent should be kept to a minimum to avoid the attack & weakening of the fiberglass resin.)

After you have stripped out all of the old sealer, you can proceed with the KBS 3-Step Tank Sealing system. We have the perfect kit (25-50 Gallon Tank Sealer Kit) for your tank HERE.

We have some videos that go over the Tank Sealing Process HERE. You are going to clean the inside of the tank with KBS Klean, etch the inside of the tank with RustBlast, and then seal up the inside of the tank with Tank Sealer.

Please read through the complete Tank Sealer Directions and let us know if you have any additional questions.
