Of course, you'll have to get twelve of you friends to come over and shake the sidecar to get it to coat all sides. :0) Or can the tank be removed?
I guess some have had luck with it, not me. I have a large piece of a Kreem tank liner hanging on the shop wall to remind me of the hassle I had when I used it on a new pair of aftermarket Harley tanks (as recommended) about 12 years ago.
It loosened up and clogged the fuel line & filter for weeks until it broke up enough so I could finally pull most of it out and then filled the tanks with MEK and let it soak for a while. Then I used an air vacuum to clean out the rest of it. Never again. I'd much rather clean out fuel filters, much, much easier.
It may be better now but I'll never know.

Take sidecar body to top of high hill and roll it down the hill side over side?
rolling idea sounds good. Someone sent me this link.

gonna try and cut a hole in the top of the tank, fit a cap to it, reach in new hole and coat with above product, let dry, put cap on, fill with gas, have a range of 200+.
Sound like a good plan or no?
Yellow, If you do decide to use the tank you could get a bladder made for it. That may be a little costy but woudl make it a sfer deal. You can also purchase the foam that is made for inside of fuel cells. Google 'fuel cell'or fuel bladder'. Marine tankl builders may also be a source other than the racing world. Whatever you do be sure to vent the thing to the outside. Just some thoughts.
Fiberglass is made from petroleum. Gas is made from the same stuff. Gas disolves figerglass after awhile. Diesel doesn't do it quite so fast, but stainless steel is the best for fuel. This is based on marine usage, where large quantities of fuel, both gas and diesel, are stored for considerable time. Bikes don't store fuel, they use it, but in between, we do store fuel. Stay with steel.
