So tonight’s progress...
I treated the gas tank with oxacylic acid and water 3 times. This did a nice job of removing the rust. I then swished some 50:1 gas:oil mix that I use in my weed eater and blower to give the tank a light coating of oil. I did this twice and emptied the contents each time.
Here are before and after pics. I used these plugs from a car interior fastener kit to plug the holes in the bottom of the tank.
I had to use the Dremel on some of the plastic to fit one of the mirrors as the plastic was covering the threads. That’s the last pic.
