I've been researching these myself, and plan to seal my tank next weekend. 
 
After searching various forums and websites I found the most popular coatings - based on 
user feedback about durability, ease of use, and manufacturer claims of being impervious 
to all the additives in today's crappy gas - are the following...

A coworker also just told me about a local radiator shop that does this (dosn't know what 
product they used), and IIRC, cost less than $200 to have his tank boiled out, cleaned and 
sealed. I may just go that route to avoid having to do it myself.
