Coathanger wire. Take a wad of the blue (sturdy paper) shop towels and loop one end of the wire to hold it. Insert through gas cap or petcock hole and soak up. Its actually a bit easier if you invert the tank and insert through the petcock as the last drops will pool at the rounded top of the tank.
Works everytime I tried it.
Good luck with the project.

I always used a shop vac on the blower mode. Tried to do it on a fairly nice day, put the tank out side with the shop vac blowing into it for an hour or more, then just let it sit, even inside the house with the cap off for a few days before I worked on it.

Methylated spirit. Tip some in, give it a shake and tip it out. The last of it will evaporate into the air and take the fuel with it. It evaporates faster than fuel does and it is a good way to remove any moisture as well as it also absorbs water.
BTW - This is how you fix 'water in your fuel' if it ever happens. The meth allows the water to disperse in the fuel and be burned with it.

Really depends how full the tank is.... I've had some fun with this kind of thing. Pop cans can be a lot of fun too.
Then again, I'm a pyro.

well there you go. kills 3 birds with one stone, (if you take the tank badges off first!) removes all the dents, strips the tank ready for painting, and does the gardening as well...I think that might remove tank dents as well....

Carefully clean a patch on the tank for an earth & attempt to weld up the holes for the badges ......... i gurantee you wont need a shave or haircut for a while
Its a joke boys & girls but i did see someone try it once

soak the rag in petrol first, then light it just before you shove it in to clean the tank. a long coat hanger is advisablethanks for all your supreme knowledge , but the coat hanger with the rag is the way to go---remember this is tips and tricks section, not b#ll breaking 101, however it was quite funny.
