Thanks all.
Think I will give POR-15 a miss as there is a section in the tank which is impossible to see into without
taking the tank apart. Probably buying a new tank might be cheaper than getting someone to do this.
Did think about putting some old shotblasting grit I have into the tank and leaving it spinning, but
suspect it would probably do more damage than good.
I have had a couple more attempts cleaning the tank with hot water, and leaving it soaking for
an hour with water inside. After draining and drying the tank looks a little better, but in the sections
I can see there are still some rust patches.
Going to re-paint the outside of the tank as it is getting a bit tatty then will re fit it and also change
the filter and see how long it takes for the filter to change colour.
Again thanks for the advice and suggestions.
