I know smaller compact tanks are easier to deal with when using some sort of aggregate or medium to knock the rust off ( I like crushed stone, easy to get back out ). It works well if you put the tank on spin cycle somehow, allowing the abrasive material to roll around the entire interior surface, then using a tank seal system, that will bond well with the prepared surface. As many have recommended, installing a high screen on the sediment bowl, the part that rises up into the tank, will not allow settled rust particles to clog the entire screen. Best to get it cleaned and sealed, I assume the main cause of this is condensation, when the tank is not full. Someone posted this rust remover on another board, it looks promising, know nothing about it though, it looks like you can recirculate the substance and also re-use it like a partswashing solution. If the page does not open, a valid dealer code is RCS15, entering that will get you there. Just took a look at this myself, but again know nothing of the product, maybe someone has heard of it or tried it and can comment.
