red coat sealer

Well, there are not many options that I am aware of. I have not dealt with redcoat, but you can try acetone or MEK to dissolve it. If that doesn't work, it will probably have to be baked out. Here is a link to a place I have used, and they are A No.1 in process and quality:

they are not cheap, but they are not outrageous either for what they do. Their work and the result are top notch. Your wallet will have to dictate your way to go.
 
You might want to go to a radiator shop, they have stronger chemicals than we can get our hands on. Good luck, Mark.
 
(quoted from post at 08:20:47 07/31/13) red coloring comes out when I put gas in it. That means I will have a stopped ut carb>

Nope. Did the same on my MD and I have been problem free for ever 3 years so far.
 
I coated two tanks this past winter with redcoat. When the redcoat pools somewhere it will not harden properly. And it is very difficult to keep it from pooling 100%. Anyway when I put the first gallon or two of gas in these tanks the color of the gas in the sediment bowl matched my IH paint well. They ran well though. When I completely filled the tanks the gas was still just a little pink. Since then I have seen no further tinting of the gas. The bottom of the tanks still show a good coverage of redcoat and I have had no issues with the carbs or the fuel pump.
 
I also had some red color get into the gas, on my "H", but it didn"t do anything bad. I think it"s a real minute amount.
 
I have used Red-Coat several times with good results. The main thing about using Red-Coat is to get the tank clean and dry. Also give it plenty of time to cure.
 
Guys, I think I have posted this before, but I use Caswell epoxy tank sealer. Once again, it is NOT cheap, but it is one of the absolute best ones on the market. It is a true epoxy, and after appropriate curing (depends upon temp), it is 100% impervious to any of the common fuels out there today, including pure ethanol, diesel, gasoline, kerosene, and high octane racing fuel. There is no better if you truly want to seal the inside of your fuel tank.

Once applied, you you won't dissolve it, nor will it flake off, soften, crack, or fail. I don't own stock in the company, but when I coat a tank, it is the only thing I use. Eastwood sells it. Ebay has it. Amazon has it. Caswell also sells direct.

So, if you want to do it once and never again, use it.

I am trying to clean it out again with bleach I do not mind spending some money to get it right. However I cannot afford 425.00 plus shipping
 
I believe someone posted to take it to a radiator shop to be boiled. I would certainly try that as well. Moyers is NOT cheap, I absolutely agree. I happen to live 30 mins away, so I was able to drop itoff and pick it up. I also took the tank for my KBS5, so it was a little less expensive than a Cub tank.

Someone also suggested contacting the Redcoat company and asking them what to use. Not a bad suggestion. Unless someone here has actually removed Redcoat, anything any of us suggest is a guess.
 
I've used rd cote for almost 10 yrs w/ good results... red color won't block anything, and it will disappear before too long.
