Yeah, anything oil-based will prevent it from rusting. Naturally you'll want to clean it up as much as possible beforehand.

Pick something flammable....seriously though I'm sure if you wanted to you could always call and ask the gas company for recommended products. It shouldn't be an issue but they may have things they recommend.

Use a blowtorch to get the old debris off of the pipe first.

Clear a five block radius before hand.

I forget the name, but there's a rust preventative solution. It's green. We use it painting on anything that is rusting bad. Osfo might be the name.

Use something that makes a lot of sparks. Wire wheel is good. Side grinder even better. Or maybe just paint it and plan to do it again in a year or two and avoid becoming a human torch

I usually just take a hacksaw and cut out the rusty piece of steel pipe and replace it with garden hose or something.

As a gas guy, some of these responses are hilarious and I'll have to use some of them in the future.
Kind of surprised anyone would install black iron outside, we use galvy. Use a metal paint scraper on the pipe and coat it with any outdoor paint, preferably something designed to be applied to rust. I can't remember the stuff we use but it has a red stop sign and the word rust on it. Yellow is a good color for gas. It really should have been galvy or wrapped with 10mil, however iron pipe is pretty durable and unlikely to rust through in your lifetime.

On second thought, burn the house down and rebuild it.
