Im tellin' ya', just use the Kreem Kit I posted earlier. It's designed for fuel tanks. It's a 2 step process. The first one cleans the tank, the 2nd step puts a coating on the inside of the tank to prevent further corrosion.

They are both made from the same chemical, phosphoric acid, but the Kreem Kit is formulated specifically for cleaning gas tanks. It has a second step to neutralize and coat the tank. Just follow the directions. Don't add any additional chemicals to it. How well it works will depend on how bad your tank is rusted.

I personally haven't used it. I've never had a bike sit long enough to allow rust in the tank, but here's the instructional video.

Actually, It looks like you need the 3 step kit, not the 2 step.

we are talking about 2 different things i need to get the rust out of the inside of the tank

did you watch the video? They take the rust out of the tank with their cleaner mixed with some nuts and bolts to help agitate it. Then they etch the tank and then seal it.

can it be found locally or is it order only

Lunchbox - If you can't follow the written directions or the instructional video, I suggest that you pay someone do it for you. If you don't follow instructions exactly you can gunk up your tank and fuel lines and cause further problems with your motorcycle.

its a simple enough process

im just wondering if this product can be purchased from a store or if it must be ordered and shipped

Im sure most dealers or Cycle Gears would carry it, but you might save a few bucks ordering it online.

So do lemons and oranges.

And both do an admirable job, under specific circumstances, of cleaning up rust and other such things. The carbonic acid in carbonated soft drinks will remove rust, with enough elbow grease. One concern, early in the thread, was that acid would damage the metal, and indeed it would if not taken care of properly, including apples and oranges.

Every time you drink a Coca-Cola, you're drinking phosphoric acid. Every time you eat an orange, or drink lemonade, you're drinking citric acid. Every time you eat ketchup, you're ingesting acetic acid.

Like poison, acidity or alkalinity is a matter of dose and degree. Both are equally reactive the further from neutral pH they go. You're more likely to encounter dangerous bases (alkaline) in your daily life than dangerous acids.
