Get another tank it will be cheaper in the long run. You will never get it clean enough.

Lacquer thinner works great. I just did a tank on a IH truck with it, eats it all out. 5 gallon bucket of it at Lowes 24.99.

Take off tank, shake, high pressure spray as much loose stuff out as possible. Fill to cover the gunk(full is better) with plain old vinegar and let stand for 4 to 5 days. Drain out and pour on weeds.
