Default Model A gas tank cleaning

Hello,

Looking for recommendations to clean out gas tank. I can see lots of flakes of stuff inside. Has not had gas since 1968 and I'm sure moisture has taken a toll.

I've thoughts about building a cradle to support the tank horizontally, putting in rocks, old bolts, pieces of chain, etc. and shaking it back and forth to see what comes out. I'm sure there are other thoughts. (one friend of mine said he put a gas tank in an old tractor tire, added rocks, etc. and let his kids roll it all over the yard. By the time they were tired the tank was clean!) I'm past that point as my two kids are out of the house and my wife isn't too keen on the idea of helping to roll it. So all (well maybe most) advice will be appreciated.

As for coating, I've read many posts and see that the Hirsch products are the predominant recommendation. Would appreciate hearing from those using this with success.

Thank you
