I've done at least 4 tanks this way.   Works great!

I've also used Castrol Superclean (the purple stuff) full strength to  
remove varnish.  I let it soak in the tank a few days,  sloshing it  
whenever I walked by.  I used a garden hose to rinse the tank after  
the soaking.    The tank got amazingly clean.  This was on a tank  
that sat with 3 gallons of gas for about 15 years.

The last tank I cleaned I put in my electrolytic tank........  It  
came out like new ;)

I never coat the inside with anything.  Once they are clean inside -  
they stay clean inside if you fill them with gas and drive the car ;)
