Any kind of oil will work. This is just a temporary approach to 
prevent rust from forming before you can get the tank installed and 
filled with gas. After that, no coating is necessary, unless you keep 
getting water in there, and if that's your problem, you should fix 
THAT instead.

I've been using it in all my aircooled VWs since 1978. I strongly 
recommend it. I've written a FAQ on it if you're interested.
