Hi Jeff,
Not trying to sound like a devout Christian Missionary in Iran trying to change religious beliefs .............. or trying to change Model A Forum Rust-Religions during the past 20 or so years; however:
1. Ever look at a 1700's musket barrel that is rusted as opposed to blued, and very well preserved.
2. The rust finish is still there after 300 years ...... the finish is "rust", a forgotten gunsmith created gun finish known as Browning, made with intentional layers of "rust", where "rust" is the "protective" coating.
3. Your tank is rusty ....... remove the rust with vinegar, molasses, Evapo-rust, acid, or whatever and one will have exposed bare steel in gas tanks or exposed bare cast iron in engine blocks, which invites "new" rust to start eating away at the rust pits and deterioration already caused by the former 80 year old rust.
3. The Cor-Ten rust coating article below, (with FAQ), can be incorporated into the Model A Rust Fighting Religion on Model A Forums; it has been practiced by vintage gunsmiths for over 300 years, and is presently working on thousands of building construction projects.
4. In my opinion, one option to removing all "rust" protection on 80 year old metal created by former "rust" in a Model A gas tank, is to install an in-tank cylindrical filter above the shut-off valve, add Marvel Mystery oil to your gas, try to maintain a full tank at all times, and start driving.
