I want to add, tank coatings are a Godsend to some of us, albeit sometimes a temporary cure, as I picked up a '25 Dodge Brothers car that someone sloshed the tank years ago with some sort of sealer. It had gas left in it for years and the sealer turned to thick black goo mixed with rust. Took me all Summer to clean out the whole fuel system and rebuild it. It has the original "Stewart" Vacuum tank supply system which was all gummed up too. As most of us know, the older sealers weren't compatible with today's gas. I worry about the sealer today too, as we don't really know what the fuels will be like down the road. I vote no sealer if you can do it.
