Hi Dan,
     I am not sure why you would need to seal an aluminum tank, assuming that's 
what AL means...
     I recently flushed out my TR3 tank with a product from KBS coatings and 
was very satisfied. I used their pre-treatment to clean out all of the gunk and 
then sealed it up with the coating, which is a nice aluminum color. Very 
satisfied. I used the "motorcycle" sized kit.

Back in 1997 (13 years ago) I had an AL gas tank sealed at a body shop with 
whatever was the trick sealer at the time.  With the increased use of blended 
fuels today (and growing) I am curious what those with knowledge of this 
subject think should be done now.........the tank has never been placed in 
service but I am hopefull it will in the next year or so.
Dan
