Hi everyone
I recently inherited a 1974 914-4
It has been sitting in a barn since the year of my birth...1989
So, needless to say, there is lots of crap built up in the gas tank

Does anyone have any suggestions for cleaning this gas tank out?
I have been doing the classic put-some-gas-in-it-and-swish-it-around technique, to no avail

Any advice is greatly appreciated for this 914 noob!
