Rust inside 8,8cm granate

I've just received my first 8,8cm FLAK 18 round and while the outside is in good condition I notice that the inside of the head is quite rusty. It's obviously not in plain sight but I would like to conserve it, to stop any further rusting. What's the best thing to do - leave it alone, or fill it with something like Evaporust until the rust goes then treat it with oil or something? Any tips from experienced hands here most welcome!

Nice 88, just the condition i am after. I believe Ben had these on his stall at the War and peace show a few yeas ago when the 88 flak cases from Finland were first about. I wish i bought one back then.
