Tin doesn't rust.. and typically wouldn't be used in any of the materials nor underplatings in the fabrication of any parts either..
Rust is iron oxide and the fasteners used in this hobby would be stainless steel.

Tin IS used in the production of glass though (floating on a bath of tin) and there is a tin side and non-tin side of regular float glass.. Many manufacturers will not check and may have the tin side inside the tank which could cause elevated levels I suppose..
