Red Kote is not a corrosive material.  Its a very "red" liquid, as thick as maple syrup.  Its not a multistep product like Kreem.

I have used it, and I use it on EVERY tank that I have (leaker or not).

I drain the tank, rinse with water, rinse with alcohol....let it air dry.

I pour in a 1/2 can (comes in quarts), and roll it around upside down....everywhere.  I usually have a duct tape gas cap with cardboard.  Make sure you have your reg. cap and petcock removed.

Then sit it upright and let the excess slough off the sided and out the bottom petcock holes.   You'd be amazed, you get almost ALL the material back out for the next use!!!!!!!  it really puts on a very thin coat.

I've never had a leaker.  Acetone will dissolve it....it will also dissolve your paint!!!!  so careful.

The only down side is your fuel gets a pink tint for the next year.

I love the stuff.  cheeeep too.  designed for small leaks in diesel truck tanks......

Red Coat works. We use it to do final sealing on rivited aircraft fuel tanks. Swing's directions are dead-on.

This is what the directions state:

13.  If the leaks or rust are severe, it is a good idea to
use   a   second   coat   after   the   first   coat   dries
completely.

Here is a link to the directions:
