Rust in gas tank

Is there something you can put in a gas tank that can get rid of rust.

Already did that. You can buy some stuff that dissolves rust and seals it so it doesn't keep on rusting, but I don't know if you can use that in the tank. Has anybody ever tried that before.

Eastwood company gas tank sealer.As you have found out once a metal tank rust's you have to seal it,and swashing? I think he means sloshing (lol) No amount of that silliness will work.
