He'll put you on the correct path.

As for coating all of the inside. That's why I stated about when you think your done you keep on turning the tank around even more. Remember water is the enemy when coating the inside.

And stay away from the additives and other snake oil treatments. The chemicals in some of this stuff will do more harm then good to the sealer.
The vinegar idea was from several fordbarners of an earlier thread when I started the project. As far as a radiator shop, coming up empty on that. At least in my area, the radiator shops that were, are no longer, since at least for modern cars, replacement usually trumps repairs.
