Another caution on the tank sealant if you do need to use it. Make sure to let it dry with the tank at an angle and not laying so the bottom is flat. If the tank is flat any excess sealant can pool in the shallow depression where the fuel outlet tube is positioned and can block the tube opening. Once the stuff has hardened, if any did reach the opening the tank is generally unusable as there is no way to run anything thru the tubing and have it exit the opening enough to clear the sealant away.

Here is a photo Ross posted of the inside of the tank. I have noted a couple of other trouble spots where issues have occurred more than once.
