Steel or plastic tank ?
I recently succesfully stripped a failed lining material out of an old Yamaha tank then derusted it with brick acid (loads of videos on You Tube).
As for liners sorry but not sure which ones are ethanol fuel proof ,although you could try Frost Restoration to see if they list any.
If it is a plastic ??????

If it is the red oxide liner flaking have a look at the trick of using nut and bolts and a cement mixer , it works.

I had mine done by Anything Goes Racing some years ago using Caswell sealant. http://www.anythinggoesracing.co.uk/Fuel-Tanks/. I think the bloke who runs the company used to import Caswells. Did a good job, and the sealant has held well. I decided to get it done professionally because the tank is so unweildy.
I brought a kit off eBay, followed the process 100% and within a couple of weeks it started to breakdown and dissolve and blocked the carb jets.
I searched for someone reputable and came across www.tankcareproducts.co.uk whom will carry out the job in hand however when I called it was 6-8 wks due to his workload, I didn’t really want to wait that long so he advised what kit to buy from himself.
His remover stripped the old lining kit with ease and after following his detailed instructions I can report 12 months later the inside of the tank is still perfect.
