Continued working the tank today, The over night bath did really well on the areas that were submerged, however there is still plenty of rust in the tank.
I had to remove the finger screen from within the tank today as well, there was no getting it out intact, but i found it torn at the top end anyway. It will not be fun trying to find that particular replacement, I see an inline fuel filter in the future for the NS.
The instructions for the POR 15 state that you can coat over treated rust but that just doesn't seem right. I've treated enough corrosion on airplanes over the years to know that if you don't get it all out, it will come back, even under the treated surface. So I believe I got about 80% of the rust out, but I am going to keep going till I believe we are all the way there. Very difficult working in the tank though
