    Aberdeen 2017 (44th East Coast Rally held at Ripken Stadium May 11-13

    WTK: Best way to line a V100 intergral fuel tank

    The factory way was to fill the fuel tank with the sealer and then let it drain out. The remainder lined the tank. Not sure you want to buy 55 gallons of sealer. Rick

    Proper designation- V100 or M706

    It has been awhile since I posted, actually as with the government it is not that easy. The original V100's were purchased under a special funding program for the troops in Vietnam called ENSURE (Expedited Non Standard Urgently Requested Equipment).
