Maybe, but that sounds messy and tube sockets and parts could get damaged. Instead, I've been giving the Evapo-Rust a try over the past few days and I've got to say I've very impressed. Just chuck your rust parts in a bucket and a few hours later they're rust free. Does not harm other materials and it's biodegradable. Use it over and over til it's exhausted then pour it down the drain.

Home Depot carries something called Metal Rescue Rust Remover Bath which I believe is the same stuff more or less.
