Default Chain and Red Kote

Insert a length of chain. Tumble. Use a magnet or a wire hook to remove the chain. Its easier than trying to remove a bunch of screws or whatever. If it wasn't bad rinse it with diesel and use. If it was really bad, use a product called Red Kote. The prep is critical but it works great. I've used a gallon or more on a large 72 Cutlass fuel tank to seal a rusted seam. Its still sealed 12 years later. I've used less than a cup to seal a rusty pitted kerosene lantern tank. Still sealed 4 years later. I'm going to buy more to do the tank on my recently aquired 100.
