    repair of steel fuel tank

    is it possible to coat a steel fuel tank with epoxy or something to stop it rusting and seal it?<br />Replacement isn't realy easy because of age and the fact that it is the cowling for the engine (OLD air cooled mariner). Any input (as always) is greatly appreciated.
