Electrolysis to remove rust from motorcycle and after care

I am currently experimenting with various methods to remove rust from fuel tanks. Electrolysis is next on my list to try. Can anyone please advise the best method of keeping the tank from rusting once successfully cleaned. I have read about using distilled water as a final flush and then a hair dryer/ hot air gun to get the tank bone dry followed by coating with diesel to protect the bare metal from rust.

How about an real innovation - Bill Hirsch Tank Sealant - I guess a clue is that it is made for the purpose

Then you didn't use it properly - or are there over 3 million ruined tanks out there???!!!

Or perhaps I was sold an out of date batch sherlock.
