Heck of a super structure you built there, thanks for the photos and the details, it 'fills' the gaps that the other threads weren't covering.

I did one wing on my KF III. I use some spray masking liquid to help protect the paint. To rotate the wing, I used a long 2x4 jury rigged with foam, rope and tape. Then a rope and pulley attached to the end of the 2x4 helped to lift and rotate the end of the wing (and helping hands) while rinsing and then sloshing. BTW, Kreem is available stand alone w/o the "kit" which you don't need.
Best of luck,

Hello, I have kind of the same problem, the old Kreem is coming appart in the tank which is installed in the wing.
So how did you shake and turn the wing to get it out, or would it be easier to take the tank out of the wing cutting the fabric open.
How is the Hersh product called exactely, I can't find it on the internet and why is it better than Kreem ?
Thanks for the help,

You have to take the wing off. A couple of guys can shake and rotate the wing with acetone in it. Do it until the acetone comes out pretty clear. AC Spruce sells the Hirsch(sp?) slosh. No need for cutting
Has anyone used the Caswell product?
The product name is "Alcohol Resistant Gas Tank Sealer"

How much did you use for one 13 Gal tank?
Is one quart enough per tank?
A quart was enough to do a 13 gal tank a couple of times. Get a strong buddy to help you really move the wing around with the sealer in it. I got a short piece of NPT threated pipe at the hardware store to screw into the fuel port. It made it easier to drain out the excess.

So I bought 2 quarts hoping its enough !
Can anyone send me the application instructions by mail.
The only info i found was the sheet on the homepage.
Thanks
