[DeTomaso] gast-tank coating question

[Christopher Kimball]

Hi folks,
I need some advice.  When I bought my refurbished Pantera gas tank years ago, it had been coated and sealed with something (I'm not sure what).  That was 10 years ago and I've never had any problems with it.
Now, my son's classic Mini has rust in its tank, so I'm planning on removing it, cleaning it out, and then coating it in the same way as the Panera's gas tank.
I went online and saw someone using Red-Kote and someone else using POR-15 (I think that's what it was).
Do any of you have any suggestions for which coating is best--and one I can pick up in a local auto-parts store? (I want to take care of the tank this weekend) The tank is about 10-gallons.
Thanks for your help!

Sincerely,
Chris
