Here's what I did to restore my gas tank: Drain gas, remove sender unit and any other hardware, flush tank with lots of fresh water, blow dry with compressed air.
I then found a place that treats gas tanks. They etched the tank to remove any corrosion, applied an internal sealer, and an external coating. The treated tank is guaranteed for as long as I own the car. And from the looks of it I will never have any corrosion problems. If anyone would like I can find contact info for the place that did the treatment.
