I really like por15 paint, but be skeptical of any gas tank sealer currently available to consumers. In my other life (vintage motorcycles) I've come to the conclusion that sealants fail most of the time and make a big mess.

Recommend PURGE the tank with argon (not co2) and tig weld. Inert purge prevents any scale from forming inside the tank. Good luck.
