OK, Miles tale of woe has got me worried. I disassembled my car 4 months ago, it was running just fine before the "rustoration" started, and in the process I drained and removed by gas tank. It has been sitting on the parts shelf since then. What should I do (if anything) to clean and reline the tank? How should I store it (I haven't done anything, but it sits there with no gas in it and the cap on. Any suggestions will be appreciated. By the way, IMHO the way the Steve at Otto's has responded has not helped him at all. Based on his comments alone, I would not care to do business with his shop. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

Tanks Kellsey, I guess I'll boil the tank, powdercoat it and finish it with POR-15. Dumd question but how clean do the ports end up? What I mean is do I have to retouch them or did the tape hold up and leave the inside of them smooth and coated? I'd hate to do all of this and find that the ports rusted sooner.
