I tried a gallon on my rusted pistons on the 2606 and it didn't really work.
Vinegar is a 4% acetic acid which is a weak acid.
When I was cleaning my tanks before getting it lined, I used Muratic acid which can be bot at Ace and the big box stores in the paint section. It is a strong hydrochloric acid. Since I was doing it with the tank on the tractor, I typically poured a gallon into the bottom of the tank where the worst rust is, then filled it up with water and let it sit overnight. Mine kept rusting every couple years and I think one time I used 2 gallons.
That said, muratic acid will clean the tank bright and shiny but then you have to coat it with something to keep it from rusting again. Something with phosphoric acid in it coats the metal to keep it from rusting. I used to spray clean metal with WD40 but not sure how well it worked since I never could get enough in to coat the whole tank.
Don't leave muratic/hydrochloric acid laying around the shop in an open can. It puts off vapors that will make other stuff rust.
