I would like to suggest that ths may be only a temporary solution :)
I think you will get new pin holes around the same place.
So if you have the time and the money... do it right.

You have to derust the inside of the tank. Mechanicaly and chemicaly.
If you *then* have only minor holes you may seal them without spoiling the outer paint. If not... you will have to weld, brass weld or to tin solder the holes. All this will caught up in a new (expensive) paint job :cry:
The next thing would be to seal the inside of the tank. There are products like Kreem out there. Theyalso offer de-ruster chemicals.
Be carefull.... you will have to take care that all this stuff dont eats up your paint.

good luck, Joachim
