HI there fellow six packers, I also used a sealer on my tank back in 1997
from a company in the UK called 'The Complete Automobilist'. The
instructions involved removing the tank from the car and getting as much of
the loose rust out of the tank as possible, removal of the sender unit, and
then putting the tank sealer into the tank and making sure that it coated
every surface inside before allowing it to cure for a couple of days.
Absolute success so far with no signs of any breakdown and no particles of
rust being drawn into the filter anymore which is a major problem for those
of us with injection cars.
Regards

I sealed the inside of my gas tank a few years ago with a sealer from Por
or
Eastwood I can't recall. The tank was not leaking but I wasn't gonna take it
out a second time . I followed their directions and coated the inside . I
sandblasted the exterior and painted it glossy black. Satin black might have
been a closer match. I professional welder friend of mine swears by those
sealers as he welded is tanks way too many times. I have had no problems so
far, although on a full tank gas is now seeping past the sending unit
gasket.
It's always the little things...
Regards.
