I think most have had less than perfect results with tank sealers.

So the gas was good. I use texaco hight test 91 octane.

I'm considering re-coating my gas tank. Do you know anything about doing this

Sorry, I have never re-coated a gas tank on a bike or other vehicle for that matter. I know there is a process to do it & chemicals out there for it.

I've heard too many bad things about tank sealers. My bike came with an unsealed set of aftermarket tanks. I sold them an got a used factory set that were coated. If I were putting a custom aftermarket tank on I'd look into taking it to a radiator shop an have them coat it.
