This is what happens when someone tries to fix a problem and they do not follow proper procedures. Had the original owner properly cleaned the tank before placing the sealer it would have bonded fine, stopped the rust, and sealed the tank. No holes have to be drilled if one will follow the instructions.
I suspect that none of the solvents we can buy will remove the epoxy. You can give the Muriatic acid a try but it will take several gallons and you may have to let it soak for several hours. Have one of those plastic tubs available and collect the acid from the tank when you remove it to take a look inside. If it needs more time put the acid back in. You will need as much water in the tank as acid so remember to add the acid to water and not water to acid and take other safety precautions such as wearing gloves, eye protection, and a face shield. If for any reason you get acid on you then wash it off with cold water immediately removing contaminated clothing and shoes. If it gets dumped on your shoes then discard the shoes. Have a working water hose handy. If this doesn't work either replace the tank or have a professional try to boil it out.
Even so, have a tank sealer kit ready and know where you go next once the tank is cleaned but I would not buy a kit until I had the tank clean. You can follow the link below to get a tank sealer kit.

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
