I would be afraid to remove the rust from the inside of the tank.....rofl It might weaken what's left of the tank so as to allow a leak or worse. rofl I guess I just like safety and security........ My compressor gets handled with silk gloves, it's covered with a GI tarp when not in use, The tank gets drained till it blows clean dry air everytime I use it. I wish I had an auto drain on it. I change oil in the compressor regularly. Too large of an investment to let go bad. Just my two cents worth, your results may vary........ as the saying goes.
