If the only protection that the original steel had was to be passivated (the yellowish colour) and it lasted 13+ years then your mod should last for ever! Mind you, I went further and gave it a good coat of Waxoyl as well for luck

Agree but at least there is some chemical metal around designed for use on petrol tanks that can be used. For example:-
