Should the inside of the tank/reservoir be painted or left bare?
This is a question I am often asked.
Leaving the tank bare risks the build up of rust and this can drop off and contaminate the oil.
Painting the tank with a good epoxy has benifits including.
1) It will seal in particles missed from cleaning (bits of weld splatter)
2) Prevents rust building up.
The issue I have with painting is if comes off (big problem!)
I have seen tanks where the lids and the sides have been painted only down to the oil line.
