Thanks, I just read about it. Alas, I wouldn't want to keep it in the house too toxic, I have some COPD and I avoid risk as suggested in my original post, if in an exaggerated way! :o

Obviously a non medical opinion here (have worked with strong chemicals and aware of the aromatic effect) and just checked some of the "Flow" solution in this quite hot day, you have to get your nose right in the container to even smell it at all. Certainly it seems very benign a product that may suit in this regard.

It all depends on what you are trying to get rust off.
Frame is easy, wire brush and if it has gone too far, cut it out and replace. Citric acid works well in petrol tanks ;)

I used citric acid on this worked a treat

I used Deox-C on the insides of a tank recently. Cheap from DK as pretty grim inside. Did the shake, rattle and roll with a load of small metal bits with some other fluid to start with. Then half a day of electrolysis using an old battery charger and then the Deox finished it off brilliantly. Best served hot, so I insulated the tank to keep it hot for as long as possible. But only took a few hours.

Thought I'd add something to thread, anecdotal, we treated quite a few old bits and tools with thst "Flow" product, one of which has been left outside for six weeks now and with no rust response at all.
It's a carpenter combination square, old type with hardwood handle, brass fitting and plain steel blade with no surface treatment at all. Bad corrosion converted, lumpiness remains, but exactly as when we took it out of the treatment.
Has no flash rusting or other side effects, left the brass alone and the wood with normsl appearance.
May not be as aggressive as other chemical removal in totality of oxidised waste materials, but for things like inside of tanks etc it may give stable and apparently longer lasting results.
