You can clean off and Ospho the rust and cloth and epoxy over the areas.
Saves quite a bit if money.

It's an interesting thought but I'm not sure if I'd trust it offshore
in a seaway. Do you know anyone who has done it successfully?

Yes.

If so,
how did it hold up?

Very well.

One of the problems is that the top of the tanks
are difficult to get to.

Yeah, where the rust is located on the tank dictates whether you can use this
method successfully on not.

There are some very good rust "encapulating" paints avalable as well. That can
be applied before the epoxy and glass.
