Thanks to most of you who replied. 

I had truly never heard of the products that can effectively seal the inside of 
a gas tank, be reliable in the process, and also not degrade with gasoline 
exposure. I did not do any research on this as I knew this was one project that 
I was going to have done professional. I was mainly looking for options and 
opinions.

Hopefully I can get away with just blowing out the main fuel line. I don't want 
to have to mess with running a line the length of the frame.

To those of you who replied, more or less in the negative-- directly to just me 
or to the list as well--with comments thinking I was an idiot for asking what I 
did about the sealant, well, you know what you can do.

I pulled the gas tank from my second part car yesterday. It is in great shape 
on the outside but I still want to get it boiled out and sealed. 

My question pertains to the sealing process. I asssume it is the inside that is 
sealed, but what do they use and does this degrade over time because of the 
expsosure to the gas?

Also, once I pull the tank from my running 1600 to replace it, would blowing 
out the fuel lines be enough, or should I go ahead and replace them as well?

Thanks
