[AT] Antique Tractor Gas Tank sealer

[Dean VP]

I have soldered up the holes in my 1953 JD 60 gas tank (20 Gallon) but to
make sure I have truly fixed it all. I would like to put a sealer inside.
The tank actually looks pretty good inside as the rust out occurred from the
outside in. But before I put a sealer inside I need to prepare the inside
surface. At least get rid of the oily film and gas residue. 

I've talked to a few motorcycle shops that sell the "Kreme" product but it
comes in packages for two gallon applications and to do a 20 gallon tank is
prohibitively expensive. 

I've also contacted a classic auto restoration repair and parts dealer who
sells a product for sealing a 25 gallon tank for $20 a quart or a complete
etching and sealing kit for $49.95. 

In the conversation with this supplier he also suggested that I could get
the tank boiled out at a radiator shop. I contacted a radiator shop and
their minimum for a gas tank was $130.00. "WOW" 

What suggestions might any of you have who have been down this road?
