I'd buy 10 gallons of Evaporust and avoid the work and hassle of pulling the tank.
People generally believe what seems believable to them. They say you also learn from past mistakes.

We have used gallons upon gallons of Rust911 and/or EvapoRust in the shop pickling chassis parts, ...and we never see clean, bare metal after soaking. Instead we always find a slimy residue left on the metal where iron oxide has been attacked.

It has been our experiences that unless ALL of the rust has been completely removed followed by all the interior surface properly abraded, the metal will never be in a condition to be able to have the sealer correctly applied. Without a sealer to eliminate oxygen from ever forming rust on the metal again, you are wasting your time. If the sealer cannot properly get a mechanical bond to the metal, the sealer's adhesion releases within a short length of time. At that point, imagine finding yourself with the expense of properly restoring that tank which now includes the extra work of removing the failed sealer from inside the tank.
