phosphoric acid is used for rust removal... but its alot of work and I dont think its feasible on a gastank.
If theres just little rust, then who cares, theres filters in the tank and its pretty common for metal tanks to rust over time.

Take it to a radiator shop. A lot of those places will clean fuel tanks.
