We clean it with muratic acid, then pressure wash the inside, dry it out, then use a good tank liner. We use a red tank liner, cannot remember the name of it. If you use the muratic acid, you have to be patient and let it do its work, it takes time, you will need about a gallon, of full strength, not the cut down stuff. seal off the openings, put in and let it sit for 15-20 minutes, the turn on it side, do the same thing, then you have to make sure you get all the acid out of it, my SIL does this with a pressure washer, then it has to dry, if it is not dry, the sealer will not stick or dry. Then pour sealer in the tank, make shure you coat it ALL, then dump the excess back in the can, make sure you seal the can real good or it will set up and ruin it. Put plastic wrap between can and lid or it will seal lid to can and again, make it useless.
