Bob, Sounds like you already answered your own question. Por 15 is the only slosh I'd use. I used it on a motorcycle tank with similar results as you. I used Kreem on a street rod tank and had it come off in large patches. But, I wouldn't use slosh unless I had to. There is no way to be sure the tank is completely preped. Plastic gas cans are so inexpensive that even slosh would cost more.

I have always used the plastic cans because I felt there would be less chance for damage if not handled exactly right. The problem with plastic cans available now - at least in California - the child/adult proof cans are pieces of junk. I have never spilled more fuel than I now do with these spill resistant super safety designed cans. The nozzles are impossible. I routinely cut out the safety latch system, but then the nozzle is so short they are worthless when refueling a car - can only empty the first half of the fuel. On the airplane, if the internal valve would seal properly, I guess they would be OK on the wing, but not tested here yet.

Subject: gas tank slosh
hi all,
i have a gas tank slosh question.
i am leaning more lately to hauling 93 octane from a gas station to my hangar. i usually fill from the mogas pump at my airport and haul back to the hangar in 5 gal cans anyway. got started on this while calibrating fuel gauges, measuring fuel cap. etc. and now find it no more trouble than taxiing to the pumps. plus station gas is 2 octane higher[no ethanol like airport fuel] and $.70/ gal cheaper.
anyway.................what is anyones experience sloshing metal containers? i did a por 15 on a cycle tank once and was satisfied, no problems in years. i would never pour from these tanks. i have a pump set up with a glass filter.i think i have read tank looks clean after the cleaner must coat it anyway. i have several gerry cans and outboard tanks that would work well and i think more crash proof than plastic but all haven't been used in years and have some rust now.
then again 5 gal. plastic cans are only $15 a piece.
any opinions?
