Name your favorite diesel fuel tank coating system

I left 100% biodiesel in my tank one winter. Tractor smelled great when running. 2 years later the tank is a mess. I need to remove my roll over protection to get the tank out so I will limp about cleaning the tank outlet tube once in a while. Tractor seems to run ok with 2 or more gallons left but the outlet tube which consists of two small holes and one big one on the top gets clogged. Tractor should not starve for fuel when it has more than a gallon left in the tank. It might have more than that but I have no way to accurately measure what I removed from the tank. Of course that does not matter, I just need to keep it more full until I remove, clean and coat the tank.

Does the Por15 system work well with diesel tanks?

Yep!
Here's a link to their motorcycle tank repair kit which states that it is impervious to gas and diesel.

Thanks. Tractor is running fine with a fresh filter up front. I guess I need to know that close to empty might be as good as empty. Or maybe the fuel filter up front was really clogged. In any event removing the tank will be a major/minor project as it involved unbolting and lifting the roll bar. I needs to be done but I have other things to do the next few months.
