S. Pasa,
Speaking from sad experience :-(  unless you get rid of the rust problems
will persist. Kreem worked for me and others have had good results from
using an acid bath.

I would suggest you clean and treat tank, clean all lines, etc. and then see
if petcock works.

Good luck.

Never met a person I couldn't learn from.
