[Steam-engine] Port Huron Water Tanks

[Ken Hough]

Beth, go to Kanter.com
or http://www.kanter.com/fueltank.html
He has a gas tank sealer that works GREAT in water tanks. Esp new 
tanks. Pour it in and roll the tank around to coat it all over. Do it 
a few times to built a decent coating. It is better than any paint 
and will outlast the outside of the tank!

Thanks Jack.  I'm sticking with steel at this point, although we did
consider galvanized.  Saunders put galvanized on their Port and had a
heck of a time keeping paint on them.  They didn't sandblast first.
