Yes, you can use muriatic acid. You can buy a whole gallon of it at a
swimming pool supply place for about $5. Always put the acid in first and
add the water second (or is it the other way around?).
Either way, wear goggles, rubber gloves and make someone else do it while
you watch from 30 yards away.
I did a set of '65 Harley tanks last year. I had to wait a full week
before the final Kreem coat was dry. The only problem I've found so far is
that if you need to repair the tank later, you can't weld or braize on the
outside of it without the heat screwing up the Kreem on the inside. You
are better off to use industrial strength JB Weld type of epoxy on the
outside for any leaks you missed and hope for the best. I'm still hoping,
but my bike still smells like gasoline. Then again, so do I.
Cheers,
Dave

After washing out the tank, complete with small chain in side to loosen rust, I put the first part of the kit in my tank to disolve the rust. Here is my question..... The original mixture is 2.5 gallons. I think I will need to do another PART A treatment to completely remove the surface rust. If so, does anyone know how I might be able to mix up something to use instead of purchasing (and waiting for the mail) another bottle of the "etcher". Is this muratic acid, if so, could I just use the muratic acid with water, or is there something else in the Kreem kit? Also, I put the first part in according to directions, and did not really notice any type of reaction. I have heard that I would be able to feel the tank get warm, but I have not. Any opinions here? Again, I have strictly followed directions. Thanks, Tim ============================================================ Get all your favorite e-mail newsletters for free!
