[T2] [Q] Gas Tank Restoration

[c.dreike]

I don't recall having any real trouble with the POR-15 gas tank product. 
I do recall that it is a little awkward turning the tank over and around 
to distribute the material evenly. From what I could see through the  
filler and the gage holes, the interior looked nicely coated when I 
finished and the coating was cured.
