it's probably rust flaking off the inside. The tanks are just plain steel on the inside no coating or anything and they do rust if there is any moisture in there. I had a problem where my petrol tank leaked all through the back of the car, was wondering where the petrol smell was coming from for age...

never heard of them, will look into it, thanks damon
