Fuel tank- and more

Hello list,

I have been having some problems with my engine stalling (in my m211), and
it was from lack of fuel. I took the gas tank out, it has minor rust inside,
just enough to clog the fuel filters with a fine sediment. What should I do
to get rid of the rust? I have heard of serveral things, such as pea gravel,
muratic acid, boiling it out. Which would be the best in this case? And how
do I prevent future rust in the tank?

    For those of you that know that I was looking for a bed for my m211 to
replace the water tank, I might have found one. The local FD has a M35 that
they are taking the bed off of, so if all goes well I will be getting that
bed. I need to get this thing runnin good first so I can go get it. BTW, how
much do the beds wiegh? I need to find some way to transfer the bed from the
m35 to the m211, any ideas? Forklift?

Thanks a lot,

Caleb
