Frequently Asked Questions About Tank Restoration
Here you’ll find answers about tank cleaning, rust removal, tank sealing, shipping, pricing and DIY solutions.
Whether it’s a motorcycle tank, classic car tank or specialty fuel tank — we’ll honestly tell you what makes sense.
General Questions
What exactly do you do during a tank restoration?
We professionally clean fuel tanks from the inside, remove rust, old fuel residue and if necessary old internal coatings.
Depending on the condition, we clean, derust, phosphate or seal the tank with a fuel resistant 2K internal coating.
What types of tanks do you restore?
Motorcycle tanks, classic car tanks, car tanks, truck tanks, boat tanks, agricultural tanks and many other metal fuel tanks.
My tank is heavily rusted. Is it still worth restoring?
In many cases yes. Send us photos and we’ll honestly tell you if restoration still makes sense.
Tank Sealing & Technical Questions
Do you remove old tank coatings?
Yes. In many cases we can chemically remove old or failed internal coatings.
Is your coating resistant to E10 fuel?
Yes. Our tank coating is resistant to gasoline, diesel and E10 fuels.
Can I powder coat the tank afterward?
No. Powder coating temperatures are too high for internal tank coatings.
Shipping & Process
How does shipping work?
Empty the tank completely, package it safely and send it to us.
Can I drop off my tank personally?
Yes, but only by appointment.
How long does the restoration take?
Usually around 4 to 6 weeks depending on workload and tank condition.

How much does tank restoration cost?
Pricing depends on tank size, condition and restoration effort.
