Not sure there are only 2 ... but Moss used to sell a white one that would also
dissolve in our "reformulated" gasoline.

There is a whole laundry list of nasty chemicals put in CA fuel these days, not
just ethanol & MTBE. I'm certain the whole cocktail does have an effect, it
will literally dissolve things that were in common use in fuel systems before
RFG became a reality (like NOS fuel pump diaphragms).

Personally, I would either take the one you have to a professional, eg

or buy a used tank on eBay and use it uncoated.

Unless the later cars were different, there aren't even any baffles to worry
about. My (recently wrecked) 3A still had the tank I repaired in my front yard
almost 20 years ago. In fact, it's probably for sale if anyone wants it !
Patina of rust inside, but nothing the sediment bowl couldn't handle in perhaps
150,000 miles of CA highways & byways.
