Default Rust in tank

Hey guys,

Just a quick question, my neighbor gave me his 2012 48 tank that was lying in his attic for two years.

On the inside of the tank are 2 spots with some minor rust. What is the best way to remove this ??

Thanks
Chris

if you can clean it up really good (Vinegar) . I wouldn't coat it unless you really want too.. keep it full of fuel. Its not coated from the factory. i just switch my 48 tank after 3 years almost and only had a one spots of light rust. the filter on your pump will do its job as long as its not flaking chucks.
