I recently sealed a 75 year old tractor tank and used a kit available from Eastwood, which is a suppiler for all the classic and antique car folks. The kit was complete with cleaner, precoat and 2 pints of final coat for about $50 including shipping. The system was easy to use with easy to understand instructions. All you needed besides the kit was water, some Muratic Acid and some Acetone. It takes up most of an afternoon and 24 hrs to cure the coating though so be patient. My tank started with 31 holes, some of the pretty big, up to 1/16th inch. The sealer took care of them all with no presealing. Any rust left in the tank was encapsulated in the sealer so now my fuel bowl glass is crystal clear. It really worked great, so great that I'm ready to tear the other 70 year old tractors tank off and do it to stop the small amount of rust the bowl continually catches now. The only thing I'd recommend is that if the tank is more than 15 gallons I'd go on and buy an extra pint of the sealer. My tanks 20 plus gallons and I'd like to have coated it thicker even though it doesn't appear to need it. After about 4 months, no leaks, bleeding or break down of the coating is evident. I'm very pleased with the results.
