Hi guys, I need some advice. I've just taken the gas tank out of my 20 year old Jaguar XJS to get to the source of a small fuel leak. There are no extensive rust patches, just a few dime sized spots, and in one of these probably lurks a pinhole leak. The tank otherwise looks mechanically sound. I'm tempted to try a repair rather than scrap the tank. I've read all I can see of relevance on the web-site but I'm still not convinced I can fix my tank with your products. I'm an engineer by training and I'll want a first class result. Can you take me through the process step by step? How do I paint/coat the inside of a tank with such limited access? Should I clean off the outside of the tank and paint/coat that as well?
