I got a metal (NOT stainless) jerry can (sportmans guide military reproduction) and I want to store potable water in it. I washed it out with blue dawn to get rid of production contaminants and it started to rust after letting the soap stuff sit overnight.
So how do I clean it out to potable quality and keep it from rusting without using petrochemical coatings? The reason I got metal i/o plastics is leaching concerns.

I was thinking use the coatings that is sold to seal car gas tanks, but the chemicals are most likely not safe. So....can't think of anything else.

Don’t do it.
Just get a food grade container
