After some research, which also included using products already tested by others before me, I elected to coat my fuel tanks with a product made by Jeffco.  Specially, Jeffco SPF9700-FCR.  I built the strakes using MGS, and then coated the interior with the Jeffco epoxy.
 
I don't know how hard it would be to coat your tanks now, but it most likely would solve your problem.  You just paint the stuff on after mixing it up.  It's pretty thick, and tends to stick pretty well to vertical surfaces.  As I recall, I gave mine 2 or 3 coatings.  I had zero leaks when I pressure tested the tanks.
