<< Moss lists a fuel tank coating (Slushing) compound in their TR-3 catalog.
 According to the catalog: "this amazing fluid (fliuf) puts a protective
 coating on the entire inside surface of your fuel tank to prevent
 rust...blah, blah, blah."   Has anyone used this product form Moss?  Any
 opinions on the results? It's about $50 for the etching and slushing
 compound.  I looked inside my "61 TR-3A fuel tank (it's out of the car, and
 dry), and all I can see is shiny steel - no rust, debris, etc.  Do I need to
 use this or some similar coating?
 As always, TIA

Jc Whitless sells pretty much the same thing for a lot less. As long as your 
tank is clean inside, and you don't let it sit for long in humid locations 
with less than full tank, then no you are sitting fine where you are. 
Slushing will seal very small leaks, but a new tank is a better idea.
