I used POR for mine, got it at springmeet a year ago. I think Lordco carries it. Alternatly you could check a radiator shop and see if they will coat it for you.

Russ, I did the tank on Rick's 54 using the stuff from The Old Car Center.  IMO it didn't do a very clean job.  The coating was very thin in some areas, and really thick in others.  I tried to talk him out of it because his tank was perfectly clean on the inside before I started.  I wouldn't do it.

I didn't use any gas tank sealer. Just had them dipped.  One pickeled at Redi-strip($200)  and one hot tanked at a machine shop($20)
