Geoff-
I've fixed some pretty marginal gas tanks with sloshing compound-- one on a
'65 Dodge that looked like lace!
Works very well. Lots of suppliers advertize in hemmings. POR-15 makes a
sloshing compound kit (Resto-motive Products), and they claim it is
impervious to re-formulated gas-- which I've heard has been a criticism.
BTW: if you feel compulsive and think you might have a lot of flakey rust
in the tank, throw some bolts in and shake like crazy to loosen the stuff
up. As an alternative, see if you can get access to a paint can shaker
(like at a hardware store or a body shop). Vise in the tank and let her
rock and roll for a while.
