This system is a two-component solvent free, high build coloured epoxy resin coating with high chemical resistance, and approved for use in contact with potable(Drinking) water.

So, if your tanks are under 1000 you probably cannot find an NSF61 approved, potable water epoxy. paul oman progressive epoxy polymers inc |

Now, obviously "common knowledge" is not always (heck sometimes never) correct but could you discourse a bit on sealing tanks with epoxy, if that is a viable scheme?
