I have read all the responses and noted that no one has answered your first question regarding having the rusty tank cleaned. I
would suggest you Google "Fuel Tank Cleaning, Washougal WA" This should bring up companies near you that can perform that service.
I did that in Houston and found a couple of companies, however, their services were not cheap, I got them to provide a "rough"
estimate after providing the measurements and capacity of the tanks and was told $400 - $500 per tank.
I did find a place a couple hours away that dips cars and gas tanks. http://www.metaldipping.com
I'll call them and see how much they want to dip the tanks.

I store my coach in Houston 8 months per year and before I do so I fill the tanks all the way up (adding the correct amount of
Stabil) until I can see fuel in the filler neck at a station about a mile from the storage facility. I drive it back, pull it into
the "garage" and shut it off and don't run it again until the next year when I return. I've been doing this for six years and have
had no problems.

That's exactly what I'm planning to do after the tanks are clean, we got the coach last year and the tranny failed so I couldn't fill the tanks but I think the water was already there unless it can get in a vent line or something. We get 90 to 120 inches of rain a year here in the hills NE of Washougal so if it can leak in somewhere there is the potential to fill the tank...
