Arch,

You might want to get some opinions on tank sealers.  Some just make a huge
mess of things.  I know there are some good ones, I just haven't found
those.  You might check with Eastwood.  The key to a good seal is the
inside of the tank must be flawless.  Otherwise the stuff just peals off
and makes a mess.
