How did you get rid of the rust from the inside of the tank?

I filled the tank to the top with vinagar and let it sit for about 72 hours this tank was bad.
Then I pressure washed the inside to get all the gunk out
Probably could of got away with just using just a hose

Once it's done you must fill it or coat the inside with oil or something or it will just flash rust

I'm gonna try that on an XT350 tank I have. I was thinking of rinsing it with Varsol to prevent flash rusting; do you think that'll work?

I'm not sure if that would work.
But I've heard "fogging" the tank with WD-40 works
Or just fill it up

Fill it up works in past day (pure gas) ONLY.
