What I've done with small under the seat Jeep gas
tanks is remove it, then put a small amount of water
and dish soap in and shake it up. After that I invert
the tank to have the inlet facing down and shove a
garden hose in it and run water through to flush it
out for a long time. After the water comes out clear,
drain it and add a liter of alcohol, shake it up good,
and drain it out.
After installation, it would be a good idea to add
some alcohol or "Heat" to the first fill up, to remove
any excess water.
There are commercial treatments available to prevent
rust.
