If vinegar doesn't work then I move on to stuff called "The Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner" sold at K-mart for like $4 a bottle. Hot water and a bottle of that stuff and 30 minutes of swishing solves a lot of nasty rust. Hot air blow dry the tank and then fog with inside with WD-40 to prevent rust.

After that, if it's really horrible then I move on to using POR-15 products to strip and reseal the tank.
