Pour in some Evapo-Rust as mentioned, then fasten the tank to a cement mixer and let it spin. I've also heard of tying the tank to a tractor tire. I want to make a rotating jig from an old bearing and wheel and use pulleys and a 1/4 H.P. electric motor. There are things other than just gas tanks I'd like to rotate. It could also be used to paint wheels, etc.
