So I have been reading about all the seal system kits etc for fuel tanks and after cleaning all the gunk out of mine I wonder if sealing it is really necessary. I looked at POR-15's website and they say if the tank doesnt have any pin-holes or leaks it doesnt need to be sealed at all. However, my thinking is that if I have it all apart anyways whats the harm in sealing it now? Any opinions on this?

Yes I was kinda thinking same thing. I had no leaks before muriatic acid treatment so why would that create leaks unless it broke loose some stuff that was keeping it tight. I guess we shall see if I get leaks after putting it back together but as far as seams go it looks good along all of them. I almost bought por15 stuff but friend talked me into muriatic acid route and it worked great!
