Default What to use to clean out the fuel tank

I have had problem with fuel pumps not making enough psi. I had put a new one in and it ran fine for awhile and now same issue. I dropped the tank this time to clean it. It looks clean but would like to make sure. Can anyone tell me if there is anything they would recomend to help clean the tank??

A lot of shops use acetone, we bring it to another shop that does rads as well and they hook it up to some vat and is comes out looking brand new.

I just had the tank in my flat fender cleaned at the local Radiator shop. They did a great job, after you get it cleaned make sure you put a new filter and pump in before you button it up.
