Fuel Tank Lining
I have a fuel tank from a cab/chassis truck that is going to go where the spare tires was. The problem is it is suspected of delamination and causing the injector issues in its source truck.
I went to a radiator shop today and asked how much they would charge to boil and seal the tank. Lets just say its cost prohibitive for my project (since I got the tank for free, my investment is 0 so far.)
I understand there are products on the market that can strip and seal tanks at home.
Has anyone ever done this or used these products? Any tips or recommendations?

Bill Hirsch Auto makes some products that classic car owners use to seal the inside of classic car fuel tanks.
Fuel Tank Sealer, Gas Tank Sealer, Hirsch Tank Sealer - HirschAuto.com
You might want to look into doing it yourself.

Doesnt look like that sealer will fit the bill, as boiling is what I am trying to avoid due to cost.
If sealer is being used in a diesel tank, the tank must be thoroughly boiled or cleaned out before introducing sealer.

Red Kote Fuel Tank Liner | Fuel Tank Sealer I used to be a dealer for this stuff, till the local orielly's auto parts bought all I had and then started selling it themselves. Its good stuff. Ive used it many times, wash the tank good and plug all the holes that you want to remain open, Shake, turn, twist, empty. repeat if you like, I never had to.
