First thing I did was rinsing it out with water:
And a lot of brownish water and rust particles came out, this picture was taken after the 2nd rinse:
I think I rinsed it about 4 times before clean water came out of it. Then I put 15 liters of Vinegar in it and about 200 large parker screws. Not sure if this was a clever thing since the inner tank had various inner plates - likely to absorb gas movements. Then using duct tape to cover off all holes. I had it running for about 20 min and released the content which was again very brownish water. Then I rinsed it again a few times with water until it was clean. The screws however didn't came out, sigh! So I took the gastank back home again and used a flexible magnet stick and eventually got them all out. It was like playing "dr shiver". Glad I bought a new box of large screws rather then throwing in old small nuts and bolts or small stones. It's now drying up again and tomorrow I will paint the surface rust spots with Hammerite.
