Yep the stuff sold for fixing motor cycle gas tanks works wonders even
if the tank has pin holes........I have used it on numerous small
engine gas tanks and no doubt that it would do a great job on that
coleman lantern.

I'd still find the rusty spots in the lantern fount and weld or
braze them up structurally before applying Kreem tank coating to stop
the rust - motorcycle tanks run at atmospheric or a slight vacuum, but
you pump that fount up to 10 to 20 PSI or so.

Having a pinhole in the fount suddenly pop it's sealing film of
Kreem and spraying out a mist of white gasoline with a burning mantle
just above it doesn't sound like the safest thing in the world to be
/anywhere/ near...

It holds pressure fine. There are no pin holes. It's only light
surface rust, but once it's started, even if you clean it off, it will
be back. I thought I'd give it a more permanent fix with the Kreem.
