[QUOTE="m610, post: 29116, member: 372"] Try electrolysis to eliminate the rust. Fill tanks with clean water and washing soda, stick a steel or stainless steel rod inside and connect to a positive power supply. Insulate from tank and connect negative wire to machine. In a day or so the rust will be converted to iron. Then clean the inside with a pressure washer and drain out. A magnet can be used to remove loose flakes but if higher current is used most rust should become black iron powder. Lye works best on tanks with varnish or other fuel residue inside. [/QUOTE]
