Check around and see if you can find "Butyl Cellusolve". I purchase it in
55 gallon drums to use in detergent manufacturing. A few gallons poured in
tank and sloshed around and left standing couple days should dissolve
everything in tank, be aware it will also do the same to paint.
Use hand and eye protection to handle it, not a particularly dangerous
product, I just never take a chance with any chemicals.
This is common name for chemical, I can look up precise name if you need it.

Subject: [MV] cleaning out an old gas tank
Hello List
I need advice / experience for cleaning out an old gas tank.
The tank is in good shape....it just has had alot of gas in it that
eventually evaporated and left
alot of old gas smell ( we all know what that smells like ) as well as alot
of orange looking crystals
all over the inside of the tank.
Any ideas / suggestions about how to go about cleaning this tank ??
Thanks
