    Also, if it's rusty inside, there are products you can use to line it. You pour in the fluid and it coats the interior of the tank (you shake it and roll the tank) and it sets, so you don't get flakes of rust going into the fuel lines.

    Best way is to take tank to a radiator shop and have it boiled out and a reputable shop can also pressure test it for pin hole leaks.
