If you have a good stock tank that just needs cleaning/sealing (no major rust through) then go with the POR-15 kit. Unless the price has gone up by $25 over the last 2 years it's only about $50 and that stuff is AMAZING! If you're in the Houston area there was a dealer out on 1488 headed toward Magnolia from I-45 so you can avoid shipping charges. Can't recall the name of the place but you should be able to get the info from the POR-15 website. The reason I say go with the reseal of the stock tank is that the new tanks are $89 for a reason. Get a new tank and a stock tank and weigh them. The new tank weighs about 1/3 less. They're really thin cheap quality repops. In Texas humidity expect rust through in about 5 years unless you top off daily to make sure there are no air gaps for condensation to form. And, unless you're a Vintage Nazi, while you have the tank out you should look for someone who has a good used BAY tank for sale and go ahead and do the upgrade. I've heard getting the filler to fit can be a bit hairy and may require that it be cut off and moved over but the extra 5 gallons can be nice on long campout drives.
