Re coating the outside of the new tank with epoxy- it's not going to increase the longevity of the tank. Nearly all tanks fail from the inside out. When I replaced the tank on a 21 WA, the tank had been epoxied on the outside and looked absolutely pristine on the outside. There was just a tiny pinhole at the rear of the tank. The only telltale was a tiny wet spot around the hole and was only visible upon close examination. Another person at my marina had a tank fail this year in the same manner, just exhibiting water in the fuel, which he initially thought was a bad gasket or hose.
