Kreem is not a good product, POR 15 is much better (but as jlh notes it has to be done properly).

But if you've lined the tank properly, it should stop further deterioration if it's from the inside.

Kreem is a fine product if done properly. Mine has lasted over 30 years.

The way I see it is to use your tank as it is if not leaking or you will need to go full pop and strip the tank inside and out hoping for the best and hopefully not be disappointed. Poke a hole and you WILL have to do some extensive repairing. Only time would tell.
 

LOL. yeah yeah.....  ;)  It gets gas every year in hope...… Next gas is May. More hope.. just sayin... It's ready (hopefully) and just needs the replacement Dyna2000 installed. It arrived the day before I left. HOPE is the operative word here and it was actually running before I hauled it to Mid Ohio.
As of today 3/13/2012 my original owner 75 CB750F has made it through 3 wives, er EX-wives. Free at last.  ;-)

This morning I found two pinholes underneath just rearward of the right mount that were visibly leaking.  I plan to use my spare tank for now.  It has a crease/dent on one side (see second pic), otherwise nice condition and spotless inside.  Can this type of dent be banged out using the long, thin dent removal rods sold on Amazon?

yep.....if you know how to do it....if not, there's places that can do it. And the place i used sells the tools, the patented tank holder, and instructions.
     That tank looks  to me like an original painted tank. I've never seen a honda tank do that from the outside.

I’m in NJ and I see you’re in PA - who did you use for your tank?

dent dynamics, santa rosa, Ca., Daniel gromm.......I just went to the timonium bike show and there is someone in N.J. that bought and took lessons from gromm and now has his own business.....ill try to recall his name......CA. is a long way.......

Thank you.  I will contact them.  And thank you all for the feedback.
