POR fuel tank liner kit. Comes with everything you need from cleaning to lining. Have used it several times. Oldest job was about ten years ago. Easy to used and does an excellent job.

Never tried it, but Red Kote seems to be the favorite.

I have coated such a tank with fiberglass resin (after thoroughly cleaning the surfaces--down to bare metal). So far, it's holding well after 14 years.

If you brazed the holes shut, you have more guts than I.

I blew up a tank once, and I'd just as soon not do it again.

I'd use redcote. I'e had to clean out the creamy stuff and reline with redcote. It seems to be a superior product. Make sure it's been cleaned well before coating.
