Renu will basically butcher the tank by cutting a large opening at the top, sand blasting the interior through it while also patching any holes usually by brazing, then welding the hole shut before applying the sealing material. The end results are fine but the welded hole seams will always be there.

I personally prefer to use Hirsch Gas Tank sealer although their cleaners in my opinion do not do a good job so don't bother with the kit - get only the sealer. For my 1951 Henney-Packard's Swiss cheese tank, I used Ospho for the cleaning and etching which did an excellent job, then sealed it using the Hirsch product. Hirsch also offers an epoxy-like 2-part gas tank putty for patching on the car but by the sound of it, taking out the tank and sealing it properly whether by Renu or doing it yourself is a better choice.
