Patrick, are you running Solex carbs?
If it's a plastic tank, you should be able to get it really empty and then clean the heck out of it with a pressure washer, then just leave it in the hot sun upside down to dry. At least that is what I did with the tank from my diesel PU truck years ago. It helped that it had a large opening on top once the sending unit was removed.

Just spray it and dump it out...rinse and repeat. Diesel tanks wind up with regular old dirt in them.
