Default cleaning gas tank

hello everyone, newbie sn5bah here. bought a '91 eclipse gs that had been parked for a year because the fuel pump was bad. bought new fuel pump, walbro. removed old fuel pump and smelled all of the varnish from the old gas in the tank and noticed a whole bunch of crud in there. What can I use to clean out the tank or do I have to buy another one?
thanx in advance for the help.

I would buy another one... theyre cheap, and if its that bad, its worth replacing.
