: What can be purchased locally to remove and prevent rust flakes in a Model A gas tank, the tank is removed.

Swimming pool acid...more specificly...muriatic acid...available at any pool supply or building supply...it's also used to clean concrete...will desolve rust...on contact...smells really bad..smokes..fumes..but works great...and won't eat metal...after it is finished all ya need is wash the tank out with water and coat the inside of it to prevent further rust forming....a good product is by Fuller Obrien Paint...called slushing compound...its the same stuff that ya buy as fuel tank sealer...it's also popular with aircraft homebuilders and motorcycle shops for sealing a leaky tank...try the acid...it really works well...
