Mike if you get the old tank clean enough to remove old sealant and clean enough to reinstall sealant, the paint will probably get messed up or completly removed anyway. As poster below stated, proper prepairing for sealant is very important and its very hard to accomplish in those baffled tanks. Had one done for a M at a profession shop once and sealant started getting in fuel, didn't have to much of a problem while running but could shut tractor off and go to start the next day and a valve or two would be stuck. After a bunch of broken push rods and freeing valves ever time I used tractor, I put another tank on tractor. Some have good luck with sealer but if you have a good tank I would use it. Out of curiousity about the NOS tank, some late IH replacement tanks had two fuel openings in bottom. One for use on H and stage 1 SH and other for use on stage 2 SH. Is your NOS tank 2 openings or one?
