I would use POR-15 or caswell.(epoxy)
Kreem has a pretty bad reputation, it seems.
If they sell it at my local bike shop, it's probably junk, lol.

Used the POR-15 kit and I am very satisfied with it. The inside felt like glass when I was done.

Ive never had any problems with Kreem. The 77 750 has had it in for almost 4 years and not so much as 1 problem so far.
Kreem is not as tough as the Por-15 sealer. Chemical stripper softens Kreem to a much greater extent. I know this after stripping out two failed Kreem liners, and one poor Por-15 application what was my fault.
The key thing to lining a tank properly is the rust should be removed first, which will take several days of soaking, turning, shaking (with abrasive particles in the tank) etc. The sealer can trap a certain amount of rust under the liner, but only a small amount contrary to what they might suggest in the application instructions.

BassCliff,
Did you ever hear of tank cleaning with toilet bowl cleaner? No, I'm not joking.
