If you have any rust in it other than surface you can do this. Remove the tank. Throw a bunch of BB'S in it. Shake it all up until it is ckean. Remove the bb's. Flush with solvent or a little gas. Reinstall and fill up with gas. Or to store without gas, coat with some kerosene first.

I concur. DO NOT seal VW tanks. I have restored dozens of cars and a raw steel tank is always the best. I have paid a heavy financial price sealing tanks. Let my lesson be your guide... :)
