The extent of what you should do really depends on exactly how bad it is.
Is it on the inside or the outside? Can you poke a knitting needle through
it? If it is just inside surface rust (even deep surface rust) I would
recommend just scraping off any loose rust, soaking it with LPS-3 (NOT
LPS-1), letting that dry, then installing your carpet.
