Yes I have used POR 15 to coat the inside of 2 200, and 2 100 gallon tanks. The cost of replacing them was astronomical. I removed them, cut several large ports in the tpo, and scrubbed out 1 to 1/4 inch of gunk with diesel, then soap and water. I tool them around the corner to a sandblaster, and let them have at it. Got them back all nice and shiny inside and out. Time to wash out residual sand, and dry. POR 15 requires etching with their prep. Then application. Second app has to be before drying, as NOTHING sticks to it after setup. There were pinholes that are nit there anymore. Tanks are sitting on 1/2 X 4" rubber strips..I transferred 180 gallons of saved / scrubbed fuel into the worst tank (starboard) and dry as popcorn for 2 years, so far.
