These are products comonly used and recommended by the antique car crowd:
I have used Bill Hirsch gas tank sealer on my TR3 and had many years of good
results (never leaked again).
I bought the POR-15 gas tank sealer for another vehicle last year and it
worked. It was recommended by several people in a thread on the subject on
the TR6 list. I liked the Bill Hirsch product better; but, I don't have any
good reason why.
One other person in that TR6 thread recommended Red-Kote fuel tank liner.
I haven't ever heard of using MEK to clean out a fuel tank though. I wouldn't
think that uou would need very much if you are trying to disolve "stuff." I
would have thought a gallon would be plenty if it is really needed.

I am rinsing my antique fuel tank with MEK to clean it out and prepare it for
sealing. Two questions: First, the tank has a leak in one of the seams about
2/3 of the way up. It's not too bad but still needs to be fixed. I
can't get
to the spot on the inside. Is there a putty or caulk that I can use on the
outside. Secondly, it's a 12 gal tank and I have 10 gal of MEK. Can I
swoosh it around or do I need to get 2 gal more to do a decent job ?
Thanks,
Dan
