[QUOTE="69ST, post: 186899, member: 5"] I agree with Gary, the inside of your tank looks pretty good. I've had mixed results from Evaporust, it's good on lightly-rusted metal but won't touch really heavy rust. Going by what can be seen in your photos, so far, I think that the product you're using (likely similar, or the same as Evaporust) should do the job. Believe it or not, acetic acid a.k.a. white vinegar, works more slowly than Evaporust...but does better with heavy rust. The process can take days, or weeks, but does work. Phosphoric acid would be my preference, it leaves a light phosphate coating behind which adds a little corrosion protection but you've gotta be careful not to get any on painted surfaces. If you can be that careful (hint: mask the tank in layers) you can apply tank sealer. That's the only way I know of to keep rust from returning, with today's oxygenated fuels. [/QUOTE]
