drop tank and fill with clean or washed p gravel shake tank around or spin it this will brake the rust loose. than empty the gravel and rinse out the tank with the water hose several time to remove the water use a bottle of alcolha to dry it out

[font color="red" size="5"]NEVER USE A VACCUUM CLEANER ON A GAS TANK!!!
It can suck in fuel vapor, and when that reaches the motor- the sparks will cause the now fuel-rich vaccuum cleaner to EXPLODE![/font]
-With that having been said, run some berrymans B-12 in the first tank full after using the gravel method.
