The only "rust converter" I have used I bought at the local NAPA store. the directions were very explicit; clean the loose rust, but NOT down to bare shiny metal. When it was sprayed on the remaining rust, it turned the rust black. When it dried, I primed and painted with Rust-Oleum spray paint. Several years later, there was no rust.
For bare metal, apparently a Rust Converter should not be used, just a good primer, such as a zinc chromate primer.
For a fuel tank, I would (and have used) use a good sloshing compound that coats the tank with a neoprene-like substance. It seals small leaks, and coats all the junk in the tank to keep it out of fuel lines. It worked for me.
