What is this tank coated with?

[Buffalo Bill]

Folk's I got another rescue job, just got it home and I can see it needs allot of work. I opened the gas cap to have a look inside the tank. It has been coated with something that has potent spirit chemical smell, I can't name but sort of like old and curdled, oil base paint, and the coating has a peach color with a semi hardness to it. What is this stuff?
Let me know your guess.

probably Creme with a scent of very old gas turned into varnish.

probably gone off fuel or a mixture of fuel & poorly applied tank sealer

Sounds like Creme, POR 15 makes a Creme remover chemical.

It's actually spelled Kreem, and it's Komplete Krap. I have no idea why it seems like every cycle shoppe sells Kreem kits -- the stuff simply does not work.

POR15 is the Right Stuff:
Here's the Heavy Duty kit with the stripper to remove the failed Kreem:

Agreed. It was one of the first way back in leaded gas days. But those days are gone and Kreem is dissolved by alcohol as well as some of the other chemicals with names longer than this sentence. it is also prone to puddling on application and never giving a very good seal.

Here is another good coating for consideration,
