There are several commercially available products you can use to seal your tank. Caswell plating has an epoxy for this purpose. Also available kreem,por-15,hirsch automotive and kbs offer products. You could also have the tank professionally repaired at most radiator shops.
Depends on how much you want to do yourself and how much money you want to spend. Here are some of the links

Use the search function on this forum or google, there are tons of articles on tank sealing. Good luck with your project.
