Not sure how long this epoxy coat will last, or what the alternatives are.

Hey Rehaan, Thank you for helping with the word, "Epoxy".

Further to discussions with my mechanic, Epoxy serves atleast 3 monsoons provided the fuel cap is proper (no seepage) and the solution used for the procedure is of good quality. Good epoxy coating ensures the tank is as good as new internally again. Also, we need to make sure the tank has been sun dried for a decent time to ensure the solution dries off and forms a strong coat, so it does not corrode off when the tank is refulled.

So Sudipto-S, please make sure you get this done on a day when the rain-god has taken a day off to make sure you get the best results.

Regards,
Mantri G.
