Can I KREEM plastic or fiberglass tanks?
Kreem Tank Liner is NOT for use in plastic containers.
Kreem Tank Liner is NOT compatible with all fiberglass tanks. You must spot test to determine compatibility with Kreem Tank Liner before use.
Can I powder coat a tank that has been lined with KREEM?
NO, due to the extreme tempetures it takes to powder coat a tank, Kreem Lined tanks should NEVER be powder coated. If you wish to powder coat your tank remove all Kreem Liner from the tank. Once you have powder coated your tank you can re-line your tank using the Kreem Tank Liner making sure to follow the manufacturers instructions.
How can I remove old KREEM?
Acetone or methyl ethyl ketone (available at most paint stores) will re-dissolve Kreem. Fill about half full, seal the tank and leave for about 24 hours with periodic agitation. Drain into a container and inspect tank. If Kreem remains, pour solutions back into tank, reseal and repeat until all Kreem is removed.
Can I seal over old Kreem Tank Liner after gasoline has been in the tank?
Yes. Visually inspect the tank interior for good adhesion. If there no peeling you may wash tank out with a degreaser such as warm dish washing solution. Next, rinse tank for 2 minutes using a small amount (1 pint) of acetone or methyl ethyl ketone. Re-coat the tank with Kreem Tank Liner (do NOT use Tank Prep A).
If coating is peeling, remove as described above and re-apply after using Tank Prep A and B.
Do NOT coat over other manufacturers coatings as we cannot be sure other coatings are compatible with Kreem. Both Harley-Davidson and BMW factory coat their tanks. Do NOT use Tank Prep A on coated tanks until old coating has been removed.
What types of fuel is Kreem compatible with?
We have had Kreem independently tested with ethanol, methanol, alcohol based oxygenated fuels, diesel and hydraulic fluids. Reports are available upon request.
How do I thin Kreem Tank Liner?
Use methyl ethyl ketone or acetone.
What can I use to plug small threaded openings?
Use threaded pipe plugs, rubber stoppers, small wooden dowels, silicone caulking. DO NOT USE duct tape. It doesn’t work.
How do I cover large openings, sending units, petcocks, etc.?
Use a piece of wood or metal large enough to cover the opening. Drill holes to allow the plate to be bolted or screwed onto the tank. Fabricate a gasket out of rubber or gasket material and sandwich between the tank and the plate. Secure to the tank with screws or bolts.
