The Ford Barn

I've got a 1930 Model A that I inherited and I wanted to check everything out real good before I tried to start the engine. It belonged to my cousin and a friend told me that he last saw it run a little over a year ago.
Anyway, there is visible flaky rust in the gas tank. I did a search on the forum and have been reading through some old threads. I'm going to use a shop magnet on a stick and get what I can see first and then I thought I would try flushing several times with a rust remover.
I've found references to two particular chemicals and I was wondering if anyone had an opinion as to which would work better: Evapo-Rust or Esprit from Rustdepot.com?
Thanks,,,
