Couple options:
1) Drain the gas and allow it to dry out completely. Do the stone tumbling thing. If you don't have a cement mixer, have heard of folks tying it on to the wheel of another tractor then go out for a ride. Dump the stones, then use an air hose to keep the stuff stirred up, and a vacuum cleaner down inside to vacuum up all the crap.
2) As mentioned earlier, I have also done the copper tube trick. Dropped the fuel bowl out of a couple tractors, inserted and soldered in a 2" piece of copper tubing. The tubing is pinched shut on the top, and cross drilled with a couple dozen 1/16" holes. This will allow scale to accumulate in the tank and not plug up the flow of gas. Pieces small enough to get thru the 1/16" holes will settle out in the glass.
