This is not a riveted RV tank. I is a welded Acro Sport tank and I  
have two. A 20 gallon and a 10 gallon. The sealer is for any pin holes  
in the welds. The tanks set inside the cockpit above my legs so I  
would like to be sure they do not leak.

One reply - riveted tanks need slosh but welded do not ???
2nd reply - welded tanks need slosh but riveted do not ???

I would really like to hear from someone that has used slosh in a  
welded tank.
Thanks,
Randy
