cleaning rust in an old tank:

put a bunch of small nuts and washers inside, wrap in a 4-5 throwaway towels, and then wrap thoroughly in duct tape.

Put it in your dryer on NO HEAT and let it tumble on the gentle cycle for a half hour. It will be free of rust but will need to be cleaned out obviously after with whatever solvent you decide to use.
