You don't need to do anything. Most tanks are untreated steel, because frankly, most things don't hold up over time and cause much bigger problems over time.
IF, I had a new, bare steel tank I would do one of the following.
Phosphate conversion coating is safe and protects against rust.
The only other product I would consider is Red Kote. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009X0JOSM/ref=asc_df_B009X0JOSM5480476/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395033&creativeASIN=B009X0JOSM&linkCode=df0&hvadid=168489986144&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4807055937970750055&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9015713&hvtargid=pla-307199442621
If it is truly bare steel, I would at least do the Ospho. It is almost impossible to avoid ethanol fuel these days, so some rust prevention is in order.
The Caswell tank epoxy is a good product too, but I wouldn't use it on a new tank.
I'm looking to de rust a GS-850 tank and picked up some of this as it is said to be non acidic and biodegradable, I'll try it out first probably get a filter like 420FARTBOSS said.

other than that I was looking at the red-kote as well but seemed a bit more involved https://www.amazon.com/Red-Kote-Quart-Sealer-Diesel/dp/B009X0JOSM
You might as well reseal the tank since you've already dropped it. Typically, I'll use a product like below to stop future rust and seal any pin holes that you just can't see in the pitted rust.
