I've lined both of my farmall's tanks (B and H) with Northern Fuel tank liner. Stay far away from the guys that tell you you'll have to cut a hole in the tank to line a baffled tank, don't let them hack up a good original tank.

All you need to do is thin the liner material down about 20%, Northern recommends using MEK (Methyl ethyl ketone) or Acetone. Just mix 6 or 7 ounces into a quart of liner until its smooth, then it will be thin enough to flow past the baffles just fine. Just tape up the openings in the tank and tilt it all directions for a few minutes until you've coated all internal surfaces, then pour out the excess. To achieve the same thickness of liner, you'll need to do 2 coats of thinned liner.

The most important part is let it cure properly... most of the problems people have with fuel tank liners is they don't let it cure long enough before filling it with gas, and the liner dissolves. I let mine set for a couple days between coats, and a full week after the second coat before filling with gas.
