    POR15 make a tank sealant with which I have had good success. To clean the
    tank before starting suspend it from some bungie cords, put a couple of
    handfuls of coarse gravel inside and bounce it around vigorously. Empty crud
    and gravel, repeat a few times then treat with POR15 etchant, neutralizer
    and finish. I would also recommend separating the skid plate to clean
    between it and the tank.
