Does anyone know of a good coating that I could put in the fuel tank of my super c? I have rust, sand, etc., in the bottom, and I would like to prevent it from reforming.

I got a product from a local radiator/gas tank repair shop called "Red Kote". I did the tank on my M and was very pleased. It truly is deep red, so your tank can be red inside and out! -BTD

Follow the advice on the posts below and you should have success. I did a tank about 4 years ago with sealer and it is still good.
Like F14 says, make sure you get it clean though.

I got sealer for the tank on my Farmall C from Eastwood Company. The kit costs 39.95 plus shipping and includes the sealer, a metal wash and a rust remover. In addition, you have to buy a jug of muratic acid and a can of acetone from a paint supply or home supply store. My tank had a leak due to corrosion where the brackets are spotwelded to the tank. I followed the directions exactly, and got very good results. By the time you buy all the supplies, rubber gloves and so on, the cost is over $60. Be sure to wear eye protection and rubber gloves. You have to remove the tank to do the job.

When you get to the Eastwood site, search on tank sealer.

A product called "Kreem" that you can get at most motorcycle shops.

NAPA sells a quart container of tank sealer, brand name escapes me at the moment. It's CRITICAL that you get the tank absolutely clean and have it acid etched before applying sealer, or you're wasting your time.
