Hey guys.... Fuel tank rust is a pain in the ass.... but it's simply not 
this big an issue...   Most of the companies that sell tank sealer basically 
have three parts... an acid cleaner, a phosphoric type sealer and then a 
paint...

In every motorcycle tank I've done to date... ( to many )...  I've never 
actually used the paint... I've just used the acid and phosphoric 
preservative... and frankly it scares me to use the paint... ( flaking and 
such )...  But that's why God made Fuel filters...

If you need to have your tank welded up... take it to a radiator shop.. most 
know how to deal with the issue and can Boil your tank clean...
