I have cleaned several gas tanks successfully using an acid solution. Depending on how dirty and/or rusty the inside of your tank is, just sloshing some acid around for a few minutes may not be enough. My method is to fill the tank half full of water, then add a gallon of Muratic acid, fill to the brim with water and then let it set for several days to a week to allow the acid to work at removing the rust. Once it is clean enough to suit you, empty the acid solution and pour in some fresh water and add some baking soda to it., this will neutralize the acid. Rinse with that solution and then a couple more times with plain water until the rinse water comes out clean. A quick way to dry out the tank is to pour in some Acetone and slosh around on all surfaces and then drain. The Acetone will absorb the remaining water and evaporate leaving the inside dry as a bone.
