No need to seal the inside of a new tank. Keep it full of gas and it should last another 30 years.
A good idea tho' is to put a inline filter in front of your SU fuel pump, in addition the one in the bay. It's just a simple "might as well" that will help your fuel pump last longer.

Sounds like a gem...I buy POR15 online at www.por15store.com /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif
it is not cheap, but is great stuff. Buy it in the small cans that you can use a little bit at a time, because once you open the can, you should use it all, and it goes a long way. A quart more than covered my tub with two coats. I did the front suspension parts with less than a pint. They sell a cleaner degreaser called Marine Clean which is handy to spray wash anything..get a quart of it too. And the Metal Prep for new or old steel makes a chemical bond that really makes paiting with a brush (I bought some of their throw away brushes for $2 each) eazy to use. Do wear gloves, because the stuff doesn't wash off you hands a takes about a week to wear off your hands /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
Check out the special packages they have. I just bought a six pack of small cans and a quart of Marine Clean and metal prep in spray bottles for about $55.
Good luck!
