Another reminder!
A gas tank with all the fuel drained is a potential bomb.
It's not the gas that burns, it's the vapor.
I filled mine with water just after the drain and removal, then I attached
my shop vac on blow and stuck the hose in the sender hole and let it run for
about 30 minutes.
Dried up real nice.

Vinegar is wonderful at dissolving rust. Use it all the time. But it
doesn't do a good job on dissolving varnished gasoline. So if that's your
problem, consider something like lacquer thinner.
If you do line the tank afterwards, use a flexible liner. The ceramic types
crack up and flake off, plugging things up nicely.
Remember, a tank full of gas doesn't rust.
