Another vote for replacing the tank. When I repowered I decided to pull the tank while I was at it, and found deep pits in places you couldn't see when it was installed. It was eventually going to start leaking for sure. Also put in all new hoses and clamps and feel like I probably won't have to worry about that stuff for a long time. Peace of mind counts for a lot!

I cut several holes in mine and hand cleaned the varnish out if it with sea foam and a rag. Orange as that is the entire inside probably looks like that. You wont get it super clean with out cutting a hole in it to access the inside. A larger tank will have several baffles so that means cutting several holes and then welding them back up. It is not worth it unless it is a solid tank and honestly not worth it unless you can weld it back up yourself. I will add a link of what I did to mine below:
