Makes sense to me. And, I'd think that putting fuel in the tank would somewhat protect the metal. Doesn't gas contain corrosion inhibitors? It would probably help to keep the fuel fresh or avoid ethanol which attracts water.

My 3HP Briggs and Stratton engine is 1977 and tank was badly rusted, so having removed the rust same way as you (I also used a pressure washer with gravel inside), I really dried the inside of the tank using an air fan in a greenhouse for 24 hours, then sprayed the inside of the tank with Hammerite and Hammerite thinner. I don't want to repeat the rust removal process. I treated the petrol pump to a new gasket as old one was 45 years old.

If you have a concrete mixer you can put vinegar and some chains in the tank. Swish it around and let soak. Then strap to mixer and run for a few hours. The chain is easier to remove than gravel on some tanks. Some tanks have a neck that makes getting gravel out kind of tricky.

On another note if the rocks knock off the coating on a tank this old, do we really care? I don't care. If my customer decides to abuse his machine again, well I guess that's just more work for me. I also really like the idea of just using hot water in the Sonic cleaner. I've always used carburetor cleaner and that starts getting very expensive.

Steve had heard what was ideal was too put pea gravel in it - and if you had a way of attachment to a paint shaker would do the job perfectly - clean the gas tank perfectly .

Rocks are fine, steel nuts are fine, just about any media that gets through the rust is fine. Scraping off the protective coating, if it really has any, or any left is pretty secondary. If the coating was doing any good you wouldn't have a serious rust problem. If someone is bugged about it, coat the inside with the epoxy coating designed to remedy the issue. Clean works well.
