Cleaning plastic permanent gas tank

[Nandy]

I have a tempo permanent tank that I want to use. I drained all of the gas. What can I use to clean the tank? That gas had been sitting there since 1993 or older. It looks kinda clean but if there is anything I can do I rather do it now that the tank is out. It is 16.5 gal and has a sender. Now, the gas, how do I made sure it is clean? Just run it by a water filter?
Thanks.

I will try that. I first thought to use degreaser but was not sure if I was going to be able to get it all out.
Thanks!
