       Tom, I have done a few of these and by far the best method is to sand 
blast the tank then spray it with a coat of Rust Converter then a good rust 
preventative primer then rubberised rocker guard then top coat with paint 
colour of choice.  Wire wheel will work OK just try not to make any sparks 
near the openings.  You should also remove the DATA plate if it's the style 
that has been welded on at only the four corners as opposed to being welded 
around its full perimeter.
