How Old Is Too Old?

Tractor folk:

Farm bred and raised but in the pre-diesel era. Need some help with this.

I burn about 200 gallons of diesel fuel per year. Available to me from the family is an old gasoline bulk tank and an old diesel bulk tank. Also available to me from the dealer are what appear to be old diesel fuel tanks. The family gasoline tank has been abandoned for about 3 years; the family diesel fuel tank has been abandoned for about 18 months.

Anybody have any experience on corrosion in abandoned tanks of this sort? Is this a problem? Is there some simple way to check them or to clean them? Are there any safeguards I should take if I use any of these tanks?

Much obliged.
