Leaky tanks

Has anyone used or can recommend any company which removes old POR15 or Petseal and then reseals the tank and guarantees it's leak-proof?
Used to see adverts for this service in the classic rags but I can't seem to find any now.

Hi,

Any sheet-metal basher I know hates tank liners with a passion; if you find something or someone to remove an existing tank liner, don't have the tank relined, have any resulting leaks fixed. Plenty of ways stopping an unlined tank going rusty without resorting to a liner.

Hth.

Regards,

If i get a leaky tank, i remove a bit of metal and weld a patch into it. Of course, thats not a good idea if you have a very well painted tank.
