I used a qt. of this on mine- http://nomorerust.com/silver.htm
this is from their instruction sheet-

GAS TANKS INSIDE AND OUT
ACID ETCH THOROUGHLY WITH CAPTAIN LEE’S METAL PREP AND CONDITIONER. THIS WILL DISSOLVE THE RUST AND ETCH THE GALVANIZED SURFACE. DUMP ENTIRE CONTENTS OF CAN INTO THE TANK SENDING UNIT. SLOSH THOROUGHLY. DUMP ENTIRE CONTENTS OUT. STAND TANK UP ON END AND LET DRY FOR 48 HOURS. THIN COAT IS RECOMMENDED. DO NOT ALLOW IT TO PUDDLE UP IN THE TANK. IF TANKS ARE PINHOLED OUT, PAINT THE OUTSIDE OF THE TANK FIRST. FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, CALL 1-800-833-8933.
