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.Comment

I had good results with Caswell. Good for stopping pin-hole leaks too.1983 GS 1100 Guided Laser

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

Kreem is krap.
Use POR15 or a Caswell's kit.

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.Comment

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.Ed
To measure is to know.

Plus one on the Kreme, spent a day removing that junk from a tank. The whole coating was loose inside the tank, but still in one piece. Never again.

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