put either nuts and bolts or clean gravel in the tank and shake it about when all rust is removed it might be worth treating the tank with a sealer in case there are pin holes in it
Mine was scrap because of the degree of rusting. I sweated the soft soldered filler neck out and can use that when I fabricate a new one. For now a plastic auxiliary tank for a night heater off Ebay will do. 4.5l capacity for a few quid.
Cutters are razor sharp and very robust, it will cut 1 inch thick hawthorn stems.
