What I have had succcess with is completely power wire brushing to remove all paint from the exterior lower half of a saddle tank (available but $600) and coating the complete area with a boat product called Marine Tex. I applied the product liberally (1/8 inch thick) using a plastic applicator as one would apply Bondo.
