I redid a tank on an AC B that I restored more than 25 years ago and it is still fine. It was so rusted that the bottom looked like screen wire. I boiled it in lye and water until it was completely clean. I coated the bottom with fine fiberglass cloth and resin, just enough that it would hold the coating until it set. I bought the coating from Bill Hirsch but there are many sources of this out there. I poured it in and tilted it until the inside was completely coated; did this twice. I used body filler to smooth the outside of the tank before spray painting, because it is visible.
I think the tank must be perfectly clean and all rust removed or the coating will fail, sooner or later, but my experience with coating was great.

Matter how bad, even if they have to cut them open and weld new steel in. I was quoted $600 last year to rehab a 1926 Model T tank, and I passed. Did it myself instead.
