I'm using a product called Rusteco. I've let my tank cure for 48 hours with it. I bought only one gallon of the stuff (a bit pricey) so I had to slosh it around constantly, leave it upside down over a bucket, on its sides....but I drained it and power washed it and the rust is gone. They recommend you put it back in for another 24hours to cure so thats where I am with it now.
My understanding is that its re-usable, so I will be dunking all my rusty parts in it. Its also safe on paint and chrome, and its ecologicaly friendly.
I didnt want to use any harsh chemicals since my original paint job is mint. I also didnt want to run the risk of getting pinholes in the tank from an acid etching. Also, ive heard of the lining wearing out after a few years....
The down side is that I will have to keep the tank topped right off to ensure the vile rust doesnt come back.
good luck
