I used gas tank sealer from J.C. Whitney. I just checked and it is $50 a
quart, probably need a quart per tank. I vaguely remember I used about 1/2
gallon for both of mine. It is white and works just fine after 5 years. I
first etched my tanks with muratic acid to get out all the factory coating
which had peeled away in spots after fourty 40 years. You can get muratic
acid at most hardware stores. They sell it for cleaning stone work and pools.
It's dangerous stuff, so use a face mask, breathing aparatus and proper
gloves. Do not get in on you or breath it in!!! I rinsed heavily and
neutralized with a baking soda and water mix, then coated. It's kind a slurry
so you have to continually rotate the tanks, so it doesn't all setup on one
side only. It takes several hours of periodically rotating the tanks before
you can leave it overnight. Although I etched my corner tubes and crossover
tube, I did not coat it, since I did not want to reduce the size of
the fuel line outlet.
