soda blasting, get in touch with onsmallwheels (s Wales) saw a tank rusty as you like came back as new.
the other I did myself on my tank after trying petseal which failed miserably and had to be cleaned out first using petseal remover.
OXALIC ACID 1:3 ratio with water and left over night or 48hrs depending on severity of rust.
flush the tank with cold water and use bicarbonate of soda to neutralize the acid(mine was finewithout bicarb)
the dry the tank rapidly with hair dryer or heat gun to prevent flash rusting
add your petrol/oil which will prevent any rust build up.
hope this helps
saw the method on line but ca't remember who did it.
certainly did my tank fine.

Wizzer the top off - get it blasted and weld the top back on.
Guessing it depends on whether you know a painter & a good welder

using OXALIC ACID as mentioned in previous post above does not harm paintwork it will remove rust.
infact any rusty bits can be treated in a solution of this in a bowl.
