Metal. I saw kreem and caswell are choices of many. I also see some love red kote. My tank is slightly rusted so I am taking a precautionary measure since I am installing newly built carbs.
POR-15
Look up Bill Hirsch's kit
I've used it on a few metal tanks and it is excellent.
It is a complete kit -- derust, flashing and coating.
They've been doing this for ages.

thank for the data you prefer hirsch over the caswell?
I have a bunch of old vehicles, ranging from motorcycles to a dump truck and I've had good success with POR 15. Probably more important than what product you use is the preparation. Follow the instructions exactly. No shortcuts.

The resulting substance is very similar. Hisch just has a lot that is top notch for metal tanks. I used Hirsch for years on metal tanks.
As stated above, prep is really the issue. most of the coatings are very similar stuff. i.e.some form of epoxy.
Second or third POR-15.
I've used it with success on a '01 metal tank
Grabbed the huirst kit starting the process this weekend
