Jeremy,
You are likely going to get a lot of suggestions so I will only speak to my experience. 2 years ago I was constantly fighting with a very rusty gas tank in my 350 Utility. Upon the recommendation of a number of folks on this board, I went to my local motorcycle shop and bought a product called 'Kreem'. This stuff came with an etching agent (I forget which acid but I think phosphoric) and neutralizer and the sealant to treat the tank. 2 years later, all is still just fine.

The only suggestions I would make would be to get 2 whole kits as there are really just enough chemicals in there to treat a motorcycle gas tank. The other advice is to use hot water when you add the acid to the tank. I am not making this part up. It evens says in the instructions to use hot water. I just used warm and really wish I had done what I was supposed to as it would have kick started the etching reaction a little better.

As I said, there are likely a thousand suggestions but I do know that Kreem worked very well for me.
