Tomas,


One solution is to send the gas tank out to be cleaned(acid dip), usually to a radiator shop.If the
rust is really bad and doesn't clean well, the next step is to have them coat the inside with some
kind of plastic.  This costs more than the standard clean, and takes a few extra days to cure...but
lasts a long time(forever?) and usually has a good guarantee.


John
