Lime Away, Vinegar, Muriatic Acid or any other mild acid should work well. Gasoline is on the alkali side of the acid/base spectrum.

An added benefit is that Lime Away, Naval Jelly and other such stuff (i.e. key ingredient: Phosphoric Acid) will also get rid of any rust in the tank. The iron oxides are converted to iron phosphates, which in turn are water soluable.

The suggestion of Red Devil Lye might work, but it's at the same side of the acid/base spectrum as the gasoline goo. So, I'm not sure how that would work chemically.
