I tried the lemon scented ammonia from home depot in a heavily lacquered Johnson HA-15 tank along with a tube of regular old copper plated bb’s to rattle around in there to help remove deposits. I would give it a shake or flip it over every 1/2 hour or so while it was sitting outside in the sun for around 6 hours. One thing I will caution people who try this out that I didn’t read here before I gave it a go-WEAR safety glasses when opening to pour the ammonia out of the tank as when I did it was under pressure either from sitting in the sun or the shaking or both-but it DID spray out everywhere under pressure as I unscrewed the tank cap. It could have been ugly if it had caught me in the eyes. It did clean the inside of the tank great.
