This tank has light surface rust inside. I want to restore properly and not damage the baffles inside or remove the copper plating under the black paint on the outside. What should be done? Thanks, Mark

I would check with a radiator shop to see if boiling it out would properly clean it and what they recommend. I am interested in this too as my tank definitely needs to be restored.
