Ugh, please don't go that route. You're killin an old bodyman here lol. Get a quart of POR-15 or one of the many products like it. You will still have the hole but at least you will slow the rust substantially.

I'm with the Dragon.
Something that aggressive can work against ya.
Just cut out, or grind off the bad. and patch the hole.
Paint it with a rust inhibitor like POR-15 and be done with it.
After the paint cures treat the inside of the patch with a rust inhibiting oil spray.

you can get muratic acid at hardware stores and it basically eats the rust and turns it into a primer that you can grind then paint
