Steel tank outside rust removal

Does your 119 look drab grey instead of shiny? MY LP 77 doesn't appear to be hot dipped. It looks like it was painted instead.

I have no idea how it supposed to look really. It is gray that is for sure. But not as dark as many I've seen. It is semi-gloss if I would venture to describe it.

I hsve never seen Q20. Where can I get it? My tanks is rusting as well.

I believe Q20 might be a product local to SA. However, any rust prevention oil that displaces moisture and stops rust will do the same trick. Sorry about the confusion, Q20 is a household name here and was not thinking about the global community.

Sent pic to XS and got email back telling me that this is transfer rust from another object. Considering this was in padded trunk of my car (and car doesn't have visible rust) I doubt it. But I will follow their recommendation to clean it with white vinegar and then wash it off with baking soda solution.
