Before I would pull the tank, I woud remove the drain plug and get the gas out. Then remove the gas gauge sending unit. Then hook a heavey duty garden hose to the hot water heater outlet at the bottom of the house hot water heater. Then flush the tank with as hot of water as I could get out of the water heater. Do this a couple of times. Then use avatation-permetex the non harding type I think and coat the threads of the drain plug so it woun't leak. Use 2 filters in the line going to the fuel pump and a smaller one like that used on riding lawn morwers in the line going from the pump to the carbs.
