I have a sad, sad story. ~10 years ago I took my gas tank to a local radiator shop to have it boiled out and sealed.

The short version – I was ripped off big time!

The long version – What I got was: the tank was somewhat cleaned, tank sealer dribbled around the sending unit hole and a coat of black paint on the outside on top of the rust.

Where I need help – I have cleaned off the paint, wire brushed the rusty spots, patched the pin holes with a brass sheet and solder, leak checked the tank (no leaks, yea) and discovered the rusty interior. Before using a tank sealer, I want to clean out the inside of the tank. What is the best method of rust removal inside a rusty tank? I have considered vinegar, phosphoric acid (various solutions) , Hydrochloric (muriatic) acid, evaporust, and electrolysis. Being an electrical guy, I am leaning towards electrolysis. What has worked well for folks who have done more of this than I have. Tips and cautions would be appreciated.
