well, there are lots of different ways depending upon how badly it is rusted. I will tell you what I do, and it will be the same as some, and different from others.
First, I use phosphoric acid (naval jelly) to disolve the existing and active rust. Some people will use drywall screws and roll the tank around to loosen rust scale if the inside is really bad. Rinse thoroughly 3 times with clear water. Then rinse with a baking soda solution. About 4 tablespoons in a gallon works. drain and rinse 1 more time with clear water. Let dry thoroughly in the sun.
I then rinse with acetone. Let dry. I then use an epoxy gas tank liner product.
You will never have a rust problem again. As always, IMHO.
