Probably the easiest method is to use a kit like what Old has referred to. However if you choose to do it yourself, there are 3 steps to clean it out before you put epoxy liner in it.
1.) remove all sediment, loose rust, dirt, etc. This can be done a number of ways using drywall screws or similar. place screws in tank and shake it around to loosen old rust and scale. Use compressed air or vacuum to get all of the loose residue out. I prefer a vacuum.
