I've used white rock inside a motorcycle gas tank and shook the rock to knock rust lose.
I've read on YT where someone jacked up the back tire of a tractor and attached gas tank with rock in it to the back wheel.
I put an old rusty chain in a bucket of hydrochloric acid, commonly known as muratic acid. The acid kept eating away the chain. Chlorine bleach will eat rust too.
Rust is iron oxide. There are chemicals that convert rust back to iron. I think it phosphoric acid, rust converter. Smells like vomit.
The original tank on Jubilee was coated with a white material to protect the iron from rusting. Not sure what it was. That material started flaking off. Looked like gray primer. I got tired of it choking up the carb. YT sold a new tank for a little over $200. Materials to recondition an old tank was more than half that amount. I would look for a new tank if one is available. If not, good luck cleaning the old tank.
After you clean up the tank, you may want to coat the inside of tank with something. I think there is a red seal coat like paint.
