Find a local automative machine shop and find out if they have crush walnut shells cleaning process. It is a procedure basically used to de carbon cylinder heads. It will also take rust off of a surface. Once the procedure has been performed be sure to rinse the tank out several time to eliminate any powder residue left in the tank or that residue will find its way into the carbs.
and then take it to a radiator shop and have them seal it so that it won't do it again. You can also buy some do-it-yourself sealers but i've found that the old saying, 'you get what you pay for' is true in this case. i'd also think about replacing the fuel filter while your at it.
another good preventitive measure is to keep the tank full with a fuel stabilizer during any long down time periods .
good luck!
