Being a few years older, I've twice seen tank sealer formulations ending up either dissolving (late 70s/early 80s vintage stuff) or coming off in sheets (late 80s/early 90s initial poly/acrylic stuff) as gas formulations changed.  And I'm talking good pro applied stuff done well.  Unfortunately I'd bet the current repop tanks aren't really terne (tin/Pb, really worked) or zinc plated, probably just bare steel inside.  So damned if you don't, maybe damned 10-15 years from now if you do.


Fair and true - but I'd rather get a few years out of and deal with
stripping it out later if it goes bad, than the "replace the filters
and tear down the carb monthly" that I was doing before.... :)
