I sand blasted the outside of mine to bgin with and left the gas cap off after I rinsed it out with water first.

For the inside I mixed some sand and water and strapped it to a dolly wheel and spun it around for about an hour. It got all the stuff out on the inside except on the very bottom where it kind of has a lower area. I ended up just sticking the tip of the sand blasting gun as far as I could in the opening and blasting it.

Hard part was getting all the sand out of the tank. I rinsed that tank out several times with water then a couple of times with gas. Then blew it out with air. Even after al that there was still some sand in there that settled in the sedament bowl. I had an inline filter on the gas line and after a few hours I took it apart and got what I could out. So far its worked fine.
