Graham.......I had good success at removing rust from my 1986 NHS tank-innards.
Happy to share if you’re interested.

First local hardware store I walked into here had Methyl Ethyl Ketone. I set up
the tank, had a pressure washer ready to go and every precaution not to get the
stuff on the paint. The stuff really worked well. It softened the liner on
contact and I got most of it out. It was messy and I did get a few streaks on
the paint, not too bad. EMK is so strong it started to work on the plastic
funnel I was using. Now To remove the rust in the tank, forget about lining it
again. Thanks folks for the suggestions.

Hi Graham, I had the same problem last year. There were various remedy’s
suggested to me, but none of them worked. I then contacted a guy here in the
UK who specialises in tank repairs. I bought a complete tank repair kit from
him ( liner remover, rust preventative and new sealer etc ). The liner remover
didn’t work (🤬🤬) but everything else did. I contacted the guy again and he
suggested a product called Fertan Sealeater. I bought some and yes it did
work. I then used the rest of kit to seal the tank and it’s been good ever
since.
One very important tip. DO NOT get any of the liquid on your paintwork, it
will eat it. Ask me how I know.
Hope this helps.

Has Anyone had any experience removing a deteriorated liner out of a gas
tank. There is rust under the liner. I want to deal with the liner first. I
have already pressure washed a lot out of it. --
