....... I have done this, Remove all fittings. Take the tank to your local do it yourself car wash using the degreaser you brought,and clean it as good as you possably can. Then take the oil tank to a recommended radiator shop for a through soaking and cleaning. A little extra $ on the side will get it steam cleaned inside. Hang around and watch...$$.., Then take it Home and flush out with soap and water, and finish with water. Use your shop vaccum on the suction side to help air dry it. Paint it with EPOXY PAINT....let it sit a day to ensure its dry. Put some marvel mystery oil, or lightweight motor oil in the tank and slosh it around. Install Fittings and tape up all openings. Your tank will be ready to use.
