We used Bill Hirsh prep/coat products on both our BJ8 and BN2 tank and 
it's been good for many years and miles. The trick is getting the metal 
as clean as humanly possible.

Al,

For what it is worth this is how I cleaned out an old Healey gas tank like
what you have described.

Drained the tank and removed and stripped off everything except the fuel
pickup which isn't removable but has a mesh screen on the end. Once the
tank was dry I flushed with a garden hose then added a vinegar solution and
a length of chain and with some assistance shook the tank so the chain
would scour the inside surfaces. Flushed with water and back flushed the
pickup tube. Hydrochloric (Muriatic) acid is very effective on rusty iron.
The problem is neutralizing the acid when done to stop the acid attaching
the iron. Water won't do it. Vinegar is easier to handle, neutralize and
dispose of. Heat up the vinegar solution for a little added punch if not
getting the job done.

Install a good inline filter preferably between the tank and the fuel pump
to catch any residual debris.

Hope this helps... Harold

Al,

As long as I'm thinking of Frank, I once called with the same question.  
Trouble is I do not remember what solvent was used, but I do know after 
a thorough sloshing the tank cleaned nicely and I let it dry for a 
couple of days then (here comes the Frank part) he said, "Put some water 
in the tank, put it on the Barbie and boil it out."
That's all I'll say.

I went the route of restoring a BT7 tank many years ago, cleaned with =
acid if I recall and coated the inside. Eventually it rusted again. =
Also, there is a filter on the end of the pickup pipe that the sealer =
will clog. In my opinion is it not worth the time, effort and money. I =
ended up buying the classic gold tank from Moss. It is an excellent =
reproduction.

I have had success using  distilled white vinegar.  I cleaned out a 3000 =
tank a few years back.  After that I put it in service without any kind =
of internal coating. =20

I am currently in the process of cleaning out a rusty 100 tank. It =
doesn=E2=80=99t happen over night. I put in gallon or two with a few =
tablespoons of salt.  Leave it sit for a week or two then rotate the =
tank to its side or wherever there is rust.  Dump it out and put in =
another gallon or so. I have been doing this for a couple of months now =
and have gone through around six or seven gallons.  It=E2=80=99s very =
effective and cheap if you are not in a hurry.  It just depends on how =
rusty the tank is.

Al

I used a POR-15 kit on an XJ6 tank 10 or 15 years ago. I really liked the re=
sults.=20

The kit came with the cleaner, etcher, an epoxy (?) liner fluid, and came wi=
th great instructions.  It lays down a nice layer of epoxy in the tank.=20

I had a rad shop do a brand new XK-120 tank a few years ago, and must admit I=
 didn=E2=80=99t like the results as much. The lining material was much thinn=
er and I was concerned it would flake off - but have had no problems with it=
. I don=E2=80=99t think this method would fix small pinholes whereas I think=
 the thicker epoxy of the POR-15 kit would.=20
