Fuel Tank (Rust Removal - Part 2)

My second (free) batch of MetalRescue arrived at my doorstep just after the holidays.  I finally got around to giving my fuel tank another soak.  I even took a hairdryer and warmed up the MetalRescue in an attempt to shorten the soak time.  I was even able to get the fuel cap vent out of the cap and let it soak for a few hours before I put a new rubber seal/gasket on it.  All that to say, I think this may be as good as it's going to get.  I sprayed the inside of the tank with WD-40 Long Term Rust Inhibitor since the tank will be sitting in my garage for the next couple of weeks.  I bought a couple of "retro" chrome and glass inline fuel filters to run between the fuel petcock and the carbs, so they should catch any rust (or other particulates) that the MetalRescue might have missed.
