If you just have some light rust in the very bottom and it is not causing problems with the fuel filter or sediment bowl, I would just leave it alone and keep water from getting in it in the future. If you are getting some rust and it is clogging the sediment bowl then put a handfull of 1/4 20 nuts in the tank and shake them around good to knock off the loose stuff and fish the nuts back out with a magnet. that will also grab up some of the loose stuff and it will come out with the nuts. Then rinse out several times till it is clean. I use a syphon hose with the tank tipped up so I can get the hose in the low end where the crud settles. One bad thing about using acids is it will take any of the old plating off the inside and then you HAVE to seal it with something or you really will have a problem. Some tanks were coated with Lead and some were coated with Zinc when new. Zinc is especially bad to get removed when cleaned with acid
