Sputtering and engine cutting off, 2002 S4

Hi guys.

Hope you all are well and not terribly affected by COVID.
I was hoping my next thread / pic was the moto on the road but..

Read thru 4-3 threads about POR and some KBS; most seemed pre 2015.

I am using KBS kit; i have done 2 of the 3 steps (KLEAN and RUST BLAST) to the T ( KBS does not believe their instructions can be followed to the T  )

KBS said (from pics i am about to show you)

Observations:
It looks like the RustBlast step was allowed to dry before being rinsed. The white zinc phosphate looks heavy.

Suggestions:
Go ahead and do Step #1 and Step #2 again. Do in the lowest humidity you have.

Do not let the RustBlast dry. Keep the surface wet on all side for at least 30 minutes per side. Then rinse immediately with water. Then dry immediately using forced air from a shop vac of something similar.


Not sure if I should just leave the tank as is and use them; I am affraid I will create more problems if the sealer does not seal properly.
The humidity in my shop/room is lest then 60%; I know it is south florida and humidity outside is 80% plus but I ran my a/c and such to keep it as low as possible, the lowest I can get is 57%.

For 45 minutes I shook each tank; had a timer and am super sore. The tank weight and 2 liters of stuff inside and shaking it is like a mini cross fit session.

I have the left over RUST BLAST but no KLEANER. If I order it, it will take a couple days.

Think these are my options from preferably to least; what you guys think.
From the other threads, it looks like some of you would go with options B.

A- re use the RUST BLAST (KBS said I can) and then per instructions use the KBS sealer.

B-Leave tank as is (which is clean    ) and leave the sealing adventure for some other time.

C- RE order the KBS KLEAN and do step A (KBS said no nead to do the KLEAN step again )

D- your suggestion if other than above.

2nd attempt.
waiting on KBS reply to see if this is a better job.
Also, I got 6 bbs stuck in the tank. they are 1/8 of an inch LOL 
Maybe they are small enough that the sealant can just seal them jejeje 
Think I will use 8 to 12 ounces of the sealant for each tank.

Think i got a better results bc I did not spend 1 hour looking for my GF hair dryer this time.
I used a my heat gun this time 
Next time I will use bigger agitators  and not 1/8 inch bbs
