Ended up buying a tank off Ebay after treating the original tank with mix of muriatic acid & water. Cleaned out the rust temporarily but in no time it rusted up again. Then the liner, PO must have lined the tank, started peeling away from the interior tank wall.
Thought about the radiator shop deal, but when I called a couple, I was told they could not boil out anything that contained or carried combustible product. Don't know if that holds true in your area.
Anyhow, I found a sparkling clean tank on Ebay for only $60. I mean this thing looks brand new. Sure, pulling the tank and installing the new one was a job, but I figured the rest of my fuel system is only as good as where the gas comes from.
As far as coating is concerned, I went with Randakk's recommendation and just add 4 oz. of MMO to each tank of fuel.
Whatever you decide good luck!!
