If the rust is of the powdery type then a filter that doesn't restrict
the fuel flow volume will be fine.
If, however, the rust is of the flake type, you will need to have the
bottom of the tank gutted open like a fish and the rust blasted off
and the metal braised and the bottom welded back together.
The coatings from POR and Kream will both work IF and only IF the
preperations are performed perfectly. Before you begin with those see
if you can make yourself a rotiserie like you would find on a bbq
grill and you can even use the motor from one to spin the tank along
its long axis. You can then let the tank spin while full of
galvinized nails, chains, or stones to get all the rust loose. You
can also use the setup to make sure the product covers everything
evenly as it dries.
