Well, I know a solution and a suggestion, but it is not cheap. There is a company in Greensburg, Pa. that I used for the KB5 tank. Their process is simple: bake the take to burn off any previous coating, varnish, paint, etc. The sand blast it then. Put in a perm epoxy coating and give it back. They will also repair any holes, rust, etc. Excellent job, excellent company. Sit down now..................my KB5 tank was $300 for the service. I am VERY pleased with the result and the quality. Now, I am also only a 30 minute drive from them, so I didn't have to pay shipping both ways.
If you are absolutely looking to do it yourself, all I can say is it depends upon what they used to coat the tank. You can try acetone or MEK to dissolve it. If that doesn't work, you are going to have to bake it out. Rust is easy, muriatic acid, then triple rinse with water, then rinse with acetone. I use Caswell Epoxy tank liner, which also isn't cheap, but it is absolutely the best on the market.
so, your pocket book will dictate how you proceed.
