White viniger is an excellent rust remover. Since the tank is out, you can
fill it up with
the stuff and let it sit for a few days. It will completely disolve the rust.
Very usefull
for freeing up frozen engines btw.
But, for $50 bucks, I think I'd let the radiator shop do it. You'll spend
nearly that much
in vineger.
Don't go getting one of those anti-rust coating agents to slop around inside
the tank. I've
repaired many a motorcycle that had this done to it. You just aren't going to
get the
inside of a tank cleaned and prepped adequately to make the stuff stick for any
length of
time. And even if you did, the manufacturers themselves will tell you it will
only last a
few years before flaking off and pluging up your fuel intake.
