If the fuel is bad (which it sounds to be), drain it and use it for fire starter, or take it to the hazardous waste recycling facility. If the tank is rusty or has a coating of flaking substance, then you should definately clean it first. If you have a steam cleaner then that will work. I used to repair radiators and have done many. Many automotive tanks had to be pierced in a corner to drain, since they wouldn't completely drian out the fuel neck. I'd just solder up the hole when done. We always coated the tanks afterward with a sealer. This left the inside very smooth and you never have to deal with the clogged filters, or worse yet, the plugged carburetors. A local radiator repairer should do this at a relatively low cost. The most expense will probably be the sealer, but is definately worth it if you plan on keeping it. Do it right the first time unless you plan on dealing with it again!
