                This is not a difficult process to do it yourself.    =
Eastwood and others have tank sealer kits.  I believe most or all of =
those kits are now alcohol resistant but you need to check.

If you don=E2=80=99t want to use an acid type rust remover use an =
EvapoRust type product, they work very well to remove just the rust.  I =
have also used a pressure washer to remove gunk from the inside of a =
tank once but I=E2=80=99m not sure that will work well with these tanks.

=20

I used some sharp stones to shake around my tanks to remove the loose =
coating.   I don=E2=80=99t remember using any rust remover product and I =
used Bill Hirsch tank sealer.

Thanks in advance for your response.
