Ive used a product called Kreem for the fat bobs on the shovelhead. Still ended up losing the tanks after the stuff started breaking down and flaking. By then they couldn't be brazed or welded either.

Id start with the Evaporust first. IIRC, its much less expensive as well
That's it, Kreem. I have had great results from it, but now that Chris mentions it I have heard of some having issues with it failing. Not sure what went differently but as far as tank "coatings" go, that is what I use. It comes 2-part and as I recall the first step is to clean/prep/etch.

my first thought was arrest the rust and you should be fine. I'd only be concerned with coating is the rust had gotten pretty bad, like seriously pitted. Keep a tank topped off while sitting and there will be no cause for rust
