Here's a photo of the inside of my gas tank, after being degreased and rinsed. I was wanting some opinions if I should coat the inside with some of that gas tank sealer made by POR-15. The rust stain here is mostly from the water ( I should have force-dryed it). What do you think, any experience with the gas tank sealer? Mostly just little spots of rust here and there, nothing pitted though. Does this level of rust warrant the expense and effort of applying the sealer?

Mine looked like yours but I sealed it anyway. No issues so far, after 4.5 years. You've got to rinse it by filling it with water, and then draining. Spraying brings the rust, because it's water plus air. Do it a couple of times and then blow dry it. I used the hose from my shop vac, sucking, and blew in with a heat gun.
