I have a 40 gal. truck tank with small pin holes in bottom how much (qts.) should be used ? what kind of prep needed

If you are just looking to cover/fill those holes you may actually be fine with just one can. 2 cans if you really want to line the entire inside of the tank. Being that they are pin holes as you say, you won't need much in my opinion. Be sure to at least cover the pin holes from the outside (tape should suffice) to allow red kote to settle into the holes and then cure. Prep work is dependent on the condition of the tank. If it is rusted or beginning to rust I would suggest cleaning it out with any of the many methods to clean out rust. POR15, tank prep kits, Electrolysis, etc. I personally use and have great rust removal results on motorcycle tanks with just apple cider vinegar. Good luck!

ditto to both answers. I only did a one gal generator gas tank. so it took about 1/3 of the quart. prep important and acetone all I used with the nuts and bolt shake. let it dry overnight and let it dry days before use. It worked great.

Mix it in a gallon or a quart jug as per directions. A little goes a long way. 1 oz of solution in a 20 gallon tank changes lowers my pH approx. 1/2 unit (not accounting for temperature). Use it very sparingly.

I actually have this hanging on the back of a 20L right now. It's my quarantine tank. Doesn't take up a ton of room. Maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the length of the back. Make sure you get a good pump to pump through it. You don't need much volume (90gph is plenty), but the brand I bought is just about dead after only a year of use.

There is 4 quarts, I sprays my jeep with 2 and used the other 2 later on my truck. As long as you only mix what you need you will be fine.

Their website says 1 quart will do a 25 gallon tank. But if it is not very flat, ie. A very contoured body, I would get an extra half pint, you only get one shot. You cannot apply it over itself, once dry.

This what I used for my quarantine Tank for new comers. Fish seemed to like it. Real quiet. I do agree with capslock and it might not be enough to clear all dead spots in tank if you have alot of decor. A friend of mine has two of these with the random flow caps on top of them, His tank is a taller 30g though. If you need more info share what kind of tank your setting up too, this will help define what flowrates are needed, ie. is saltwater, reeftank, freshwater?

I used this product to paint the upper hull (above water line) of my sea Ark metal 20 ft. Boat and I applied 2 coats. I used one and 1/4 quarts. I guess one qt. Single coat would cover about 120 sq. Ft.

The switch comes precalibrated for most tanks. the very first thing that you should do BEFORE replacing the switch (unless you are replacing it due to the contacts being worn out) is to COMPLETELY empty the water out of the tank, then make sure that the air in the tank (bladder, there should be an air valve like on a bicycle tire on top) is correct, if not inflate it to the specifications fro the tank, there should be a label with the air pressure settings , usually about 28 PSI or so. make sure the power is OFF, check it with a voltmeter to be sure! replace the switch. Once this is done, you can fill up the tank again and see where it cuts off and adjust if you want the preasure higher or lower. then open a water valve and see where it cuts off and adjust so that the switch cuts off at your desire setting, if the pump starts to "flutter" on and off real fast, the pressure in the tank is not correct or the low pressure is to close to the cut-off setting, lower or raise the small screw accordingly. this is what the instructions say for the bolt settings if you need to adjust it : "Turn the nut on the small bolt down (clockwise) for a higher cut-out pressure. Do the opposite for a lower maximum water pressure setting. Remember that you're not directly setting this pressure; rather, you're establishing how high you want the cut-out pressure to be above the cut-in pressure." hope this helps. and definitely test as indicated in the first answer! as this cause grief for me several times during the summer as ants...yes ants looked for cooler shelter and started to "burn up" on the contact, using a nail filler i was able to repair it for several years until there was no contact left, spraying some WD-40 below the housing helps as ants will not go onto it and it lasts longer than ant spray. : )

i would guess a quart. used it all summer with only 1 tank jamming in the garage! I had another type of fogger and had to refill that 3 or 4 times with same amount of use.

I bought one quart for my Mustang GT. I think it's a 20 gallon tank. The stuff doesn't dry right away. It takes several days. You have to tip the tank onto different sides over those days to get it coated everywhere. I admit that I didn't tip mine upside-down to coat the inside-top. It's coated everywhere else though. Yeah, one quart looked like it coated everywhere that I could see.

i am using mine in an aquatic turtle tank, 55 gallons also, about 1/5 full of water. It does recommend using a ground fault interuptor, but I am not using one. PS, my heaters always get a limescale/gravel build-up because they were being used horizontally in my turtle tanks, but I am told vinegar soaks will break that up easily...damaged many glass heaters trying to get that stuff off...hoping the vinegar trick will work on these.

I have two on my forty eight inch tank which covers the entirety of the tank, placing one may not be enough depending on the corals you play on the edges of the tank. Currently I have brains, pegoda cups, hammers, polpys, mushrooms, sponges and birdnests corals. All are doing very well at 2/3 volume. I started off with half volume on the lights to get the corals acclimated. The plugs are your typical 120 volt 3 prong plugs that works with any normal household outlet.

Use half. Make sure it's spotless, dry, and warm. VERY THICK. Doesn't cover fast. I have a 5.5 gallon tank and used whole kit. Big mistake. Ended up leaving a half inch thick 2 lb pile in the bottom of my tank. Didn't help the tank was lightweight carbon fiber. Then it leaked again. Caswell replaced for free. Gotta cut in half, grind out and do over with HALF kit
