When I did my restoration, my gas tanks had the usual light corrosion
inside. What I did was buy a quart of sealer that is used for motorcycle gas
tanks, that was more than enough to coat the insides of the two tanks and
the crossovers. As I remember there are two types, one is for gasoline only
and the other is if there is any alcohol in the gas which is the one I opted
for just in case we no longer have the option. The directions are very easy
and the cost wasn't that much either. Maybe $20.00 or so, been a long time
ago. I've been finished with my restoration now coming up on 8 years and
they're still clean as can be.

I was talking to an auto restorer I deal with, and he recommended Gas Tank
Renu for cleaning and sealing gas tanks, inside and out. He had an XKE tank
repaired and sealed. It cost about $350 plus shipping, which for an XKE is
cheap compared to a new tank for about $800.
He also sent out an MGTD tank. They coated only the inside since the TD
tank
needs to be painted to match the rest of the car. He swears by this
procedure and does not use any other method.

Expensive, yes, but they have a lifetime warranty on all car and truck
tanks.
