You can buy something to seal the inside of the tank but I cannot remember the name of it. I used it on a 400/4 I had years ago.
But it will probably depend on how bad your tank is.
Just remembered it was called Petseal.

Hi,
Had the same thing with my YPVS , i sent it off to these guys http://www.fuel-tank-renu.co.uk/pages/tanks.html , not cheap ( about £150 5 years ago) but it wont rust inside again and if you're going to keep the bike long term its worth doing.
I will try and find the pics of my tank and post them up

Ive got an old motorcycle mechanics mag somewhere which has an excellent article all about rusting tanks and how the modern fuels cause it etc etc
I can try dig it out if anyones interested, maybe take a photo if it is readable or try pick the bones from it and type it on here.
