For gum, gunk, varnish I have had excellent luck with carburetor cleaner. You can buy it in 5-gallon cans at most good auto parts stores. While it is expensive - about $75 - I saved it after using in my gas tanks and continue to use it for carb cleaning and other cleaning chores. It lasts for years. I pour it into the tank and let it sit for 2-3 days, occasionally swishing it around whenever I pass by it. After dumping back into its can, I rinse the tank with water and let it dry in the sun upside down. Usually drys in no time. I've used acid as well as acid followed by gas tank sealer; I've used gravel and I've used a length of chain. All have their place, but most of those applications are better for rust removal. The best results I ever achieved for gum and gunk was Berryman's (carburetor cleaner). Whatever method you decide upon, best of luck. mike
