I've used a couple quarts of pea-sized gravel with 1/4 tank of fluid - I guess water would be fine but I used gas - sloshed it around for about ten minutes. I did this by hand and don't recommend it. If you can rig a second temporary tank, I've seen posts that recommend jacking up the tractor, strapping the tank to one of the rear wheels and then running the tractor in 1st gear at low idle. I wouldn't do this _too_ long before checking how it's going. Then coat it with liner, if you choose. You can also try a quick fix of getting in there with a wire brush and scrub off the rough flakes, wave a 2" diameter magnet on the end of a clothes-hanger wire over the floor, rinse and leave the magnet in the tank near the outlet port. I did this three years ago on a moderately-rusted tank and haven't had a clogging problem since. Every year, I pull the magnet out (snag the eye-bolt I put through it with a clothes-hanger hook) and clean off the flakes it has caught. I put in an in-line filter but that hasn't needed changing yet.
