Considering the internal structure of the FI tanks with their inner cup around
the inlet/outlet pipes and reliance on fuel being drawn into the cup through a
relatively small gap between the cup and the tank floor when the tank contents
are low, it's not advisable to use a sealant type of coating.  The VW method is
to phosphate the tank after cleaning it out.

It wouldn't be a problem in a carb tank though.
