You might want to also consider Caswell's sealer.
www.caswellplating.com
I've read a lot of positive stuff about it.
I used kreme with limited success.Seal All fixed the rust pin holes in my tank.

I used Por15 several years ago with excellent results. Just follow the directions closely. Be double sure that the tank is DRY before putting in the sealer. I used a hair dryer. Also, I let the tank cure for about 10 days inside the house before I put in any gas.

I highly recommend you use the tank sealer from POR15. I have used many other sealers over the years and have had mixed results. Follow the instructions with the POR15, and you definitely will not be sorry. This is the only sealer I use any more on my customers bikes (and NO, I do not have stock in POR15!!)

Ive too have heard many good reports about POR15.
I have also heard loads of bad reports about Kreme.
I used the 2-part system from Caswells and it worked perfectly.
Very easy and leaves behind a nice clear coating on the inside.
+1 for POR & Caswells here.

I've used Kreme and it's worked perfectly. I think the "trick" is to follow the directions to a "T" and ALLOW THE TANK TO "CURE" I allowed mine to "cure" all winter long! Now I know why we have "winter".
