Then do a liner.

No flaking or anything like that, the guy at the shop even said to use some jacks or bb's and shake them around in the tank

That happened to my Hyo a few months after buying it. Apparently it was on recall and my dealer didn't tell me when i bought it. When I found out i only had a week left to get it fixed. Glad i caught it when i did they replaced the whole tank.

Ok I got the kreem kit my only thing is I need some suggestions on how to stopper up the opening on the bottom where the fuel pump goes in. I can use some rubber stoppers to plug up the 2 smaller openings but cant think of anything to cover that esp since I will have the tank sitting with that on the bottom.
