A friend who likes old cars told me that shaking a tank with washed crushed
rock chips inside will remove scale/rust from inside the tank. I have not
tried it but he claims to have done it successfully.

I tried the "scrub it out" method using hardware (washers and 1/4-20 nuts). It did a fairly good job. Problem is getting the "stuff" (rocks or hardware) out after it's done it's job. I have one spare I'm still trying to get the hardware out of. I work on getting the hardware out when I feel I can tolerate the frustration for a while.

GMCMH tanks are different in that they are so wide, so shallow and have internal baffles.
