It’s a mild steel tank from a recently concocted Model T racer imported from New Zealand.
The body parts, including the tank are less than 10 years old and are commercially produced and available online from Model T spares suppliers.
The sealant was not administered in this country so my guess is 5+ years.
Ethanol laced fuel and mild steel are poor partners.
Nothing that I know of will adhere to rust.
The long term solution, apart from using ethanol free petrol, is probably a brass, stainless steel or plastic fuel tank.
