Evapo rust works great... rather pricy for a tank. A couple different things that you can do.
1) Electrolysis. Fill tank with washing soda solution. put a piece of rebar in through the neck into the solution, but isolated from the tank. Hook a battery charge + lead to the tank and - lead to the rebar. Let it run for a couple days.
2) Acid. Either a few gallons of muratic or phosphoric acid into your tank. Top it off with water. Let it sit for a week. The more acid, the less time it takes. Phosphoric acid works better, but you can do it with muratic acid too. Just make sure to wear proper protection and get a bag of baking soda from the feed store to neutralize the solution as you start to drain it. Before you start the process, put a sacrificial petcock where your fuel bowl is and a length of hose to your 20 gallon tote with your baking soda solution so you don't get any on your transmission.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
