Errr... the tank cleaning procedures mentioned were used to combat surface rust mostly. I would buy a gallon of Berrymans carb dip and CAREFULLY (DO NOT GET IT ON PAINT), pour it in and let it sit. It will disolve the old gas goo. Then flush with gas a couple times and dry the tank with compressed air. Make sure you don't let it sit dry for a long time as it will rust.
