Paul,
I don't think the problem with Tiger tanks is rust. It's normally the old
sealant breaking loose and plugging the lines. You can remove the loose
sealant, but it will continue to fall off and next year you'll have some
more.
When the tanks are coated professionally they either remove the old
sealant or seal over it (not sure which).

Thanks Ron. I wonder why Eastwood would bother with that other product!
Also, I guess that the sealer is only necessary when a tank is rusty (to
prevent further
damage). My tanks are not rusty at all so maybe I should not bother.
I have been warned to clean out the OLD tank sealer as it will break down
and clog
the fuel lines with current gasoline.
