Forden, a true pressure tank has eight screws on the top that takes the entire pumping mechanism out in one chunk. I use my shop vaccume with a 3/4″ pipe ducked taped to the suction end of the hose. Once the tanked is opened up you can get inside pretty well to clean it out. Rust is the big problem. Some guys have good luck with evaporust. There are other products out there to try including electrolysis. Utube will give you some ways to clean rust also. If you have a sixty’s tank it is not a pressure tank. They are much harder to get inside to clean them. I would look for another tank. Hope this helps.
