Dear Mr. Eswar,
First, solvent clean your tanks to remove all oils. Then wash down with a mixture of 20% HNO3 with 2% sodium dichromate dissolved in it.
Please use proper safety garments like shoes,
apron
[on
eBay or
Amazon]
and hand
rubber gloves [on
eBay or
Amazon] whilst doing the process.
Wash down afterwards with clean water with a little soap solution.
