I think the concensus was to take it to a radiator shop and have them 
clean it and coat it with por or something similar,  that's where my 
tank went when i saw the thread and the radiator guys did a real good 
job on it too.  reall impressed.

    Hello list,
Any ideas out there on how to get all the rust out of the inside of my 
63
spit gas tank? The tank isn't to bad but the bottom of the tank does 
have
some scale rust on it. I put one of the clear glass filters on the fuel 
line
(just prior to the fuel pump) so i could watch for rust flakes in it. I 
keep
cleaning it out but it makes me nervous watching that filter get all 
that
rusty scale in it. I would like to clean out the tank if i could. I have 
the
tank out of the car and the sending unit off of it. Is there a product 
out
there that would take care of this?
thanks,
Lew
