Question So, what is the best way to clean the inside of a gas tank?

While I have the tank out I'd like to get it cleaned inside and out.
I can handle the "out" part but not sure about the "inside".
The fuel level tube is now out; I don't have, yet, the big Allen (21mm I think) key to remove the bottom filter.
There was apparent signs of leaks nor fuel smell.
I've read about "boiling" and POR15 inside treatment, but not sure if this is needed.
Any input appreciated. TIA.
