I have a rectangular fuel tank that has some rust and flaking paint.

I want to remove both and re-prime and repaint, so that the tank looks
less menacing.



Sandblast ?


I'm with Tom on this. Sandblasting is not only the best prep for paint
on steel, but involves no labor on your part other than toting the
tank back and forth. My local sandblaster would probably charge around
$50 to take that tank to bare metal.
