Depends on what is in it...
First, take out the fuel valve and plug the hole.Remove the sending unit if equipped.
For stale, jellied gas, E85 works well. Just put enough to cover the bottom, swab it around through the cap if possible, or slosh it, dump, repeat several times.
If rusty, dump in some bolts, nuts, nails, add some diesel or kerosene, find some way to tumble the tank end to end. You can strap it to a cement mixer, a jacked up tractor wheel, or just tumble it by hand. Then dump it out, rinse with E85.
If it is badly rusted, good chance it will leak when done. There are liquid liners that sometimes work, or if a popular model, aftermarket tanks are available, but not the same quality as original. Or, to maintain originality, the old tank can be cut apart and repaired.
