This product fixed a leak in a soldered tank that woud re-occur every three years, that would force me to drain flush and re-solder the seam. Once I lined the tank with this product the leak has not re-occurred.
This thread on Shop Floor Talk so the results of the product and how bad a tank can be saved.

The tank shown in the thread, had ancient gasoline in it, the Marine Clean removed the varnish, I would not use any other product for lining tanks. The only drawback to this product is that there is a long cure time once the coating is applied.
If you follow the directions that are included with the kit you will be very happy with the results. I use a lot of their products, I order directly from them and have been very happy with their service.
Depending on the size of the tank, the kit I linked to might be too small, but it will do a 4 gallon tank. They show a larger tank repair kit for car sized tanks and I have done one tank of that size for a DeSoto and as far as I know the tank is still in use.

rust in tank
i have filled tanks about 1/3full of coarse sand and pea gravel and water and just shook,rolled tumbled till clean,rinse, blowdry, and immediately coat with gas mixed with oil to keep the rust out.

Bungie cording the tank to a tractor wheel for the tumbling action works well for me using a light load of nuts, bolts, & screws in the fashion 'pop pop' recommends. The POR 15 product has a good rep as does CREEM. I figure the ol' girls need all the anti-rust help they can get, especially with increasing percentage of alcohol in the gas we are faced with.
