Tank Rust - Minor but needs to be treated

[xlr8tn]

For those of you that have restored your tank, what product did you use and what would you not use again? Shined a light inside my tank and it doesn't look too far gone. What would you treat mine with?

I used electrolysis on my tank, about 8 years ago, and its been good all this time. My old thread is likely still around if you do a Google Custom search.

Plain ol' white vinegar. You will need to blank off the petcock holes. But imo your tank is pretty clean.

1+ on the vinegar.

I restored a tank I thought was long gone using electrolysis. Yours is in much better shape.

I used evap-orust. used 2 gallons, and filled the rest with water. I let it sit for a week, and I sloshed it around once in the morning, once when I got home from work, and again at bedtime. Looks new again, wasn't much worse that yours.
