I know powerblock had a good tip and product on how to clean and liner an old gas tank but I don't remember what they used.
Thanks for any info you guys have.

I know that Eastwood has stuff to fix rust in car gas tanks and then seal them up so I'm sure it would work in a gas can.

I'm gonna try using a chain and shaking it around for a while, a long while.
and then rinse it out and use alcohol to try and dry out the remaining water.
