Use vinegar.
It does the job..it is cheap and it will not screw up your paint or kill the dog.
I filled mine about 1/3 FULL because the bottom is the worst.
Then I added 1/3 lb of BBs but nuts and bolts work too to break up the big deposits.
I let is sit for a day or so shaking it every 5 or 6 hours.
Then I dumped it out but saved the vinegar because you can use it as weed killer.
I then washed it out with clean water and let it dry.
This may be enough depending on how bad the rust is.
Mine was bad so I filled the tank with new vinager and let is sit another day or two.
Then dump rinse and let dry.
It looks good as new.
