Rust in fuel tank

[116gtv]

So I've decided to do something about the rust contamination in my fuel tank on the sprint.  I'm thinking of using a tank sealer/converter products such as POR15 or the likes after pulling the tank, unless there is a simpler solution? Anybody been down that path?

I used this product on an HQ one tonner fuel tank, and it did work well.

There are a few fiddly steps... you wash out the tank with the supplied detergent, then pour in and swish around a rust converter solution, allow to dry and then pour in the sealer and rotate the tank for full internal coverage. The excess sealer is then drained out the filler neck.

At under $100, it's a lot cheaper than a new Alfa fuel tank.
