 |
|
The discussions regarding Van's fuel tank pickup SB has shown that many
people use ProSeal to seal their access panels to the tank. This is a good
method, however it has been pointed out that ProSeal is a pain to remove due
to its adhesion qualities. A better alternative may be to use sealant
designed specifically for this purpose. All the companies that make tank
sealant also make access panel sealant that provides the same sealing
characteristics but with lower adhesion so the access panels can be removed
when necessary.
The following table shows the part numbers for various types of sealants
from the major manufacurers:
Product Type
PPG (Pro-Seal)
Flamemaster (Chem Seal)
AC Tech
Tank Sealant
P/S 890, PR-1440
CS 3204
AC-236
Access Panel Sealant
PR-1321, PR 1428
CS 3330
AC-215
Firewall Sealant
P/S 812, P/S 700
CS 1900
Tank Sealant (Rapid Cure)
CS 3204R
AC-240
A good source for the Flamemaster products is Sealpak Company
(www.sealpakcoinc.com) at (316) 942-6211. They are easy to deal with and
have no minimum order and can supply any of the Flamemaster products in any
amount you need.
