Nick, here's what I've been using in the heat storage system I built from your
suggestion of using old fuel oil tanks, some years ago. 2 parts to it, a rust
inhibitor, which costs about $15 a gallon and treats 300 gallons and an oxygen
scavenger, at about the same price per gallon. They have a chemical engineer
available, who may be able to answer any questions.

/water_treatment/

and Stop-Rust #200 oxygen scavenger which is the very last item on the page.

/water%5Ftreatment/

Hope you find this helpful.
