Utah,
If your gas tank is in pretty good shape, I would just clean it. There are some chemicals specifically made to do this. Add some gravel and chemical to the tank and slosh it around. Works pretty well. It is a bit of a PIA getting the gravel out. Don't seal the interior of the tank. The "new" gas has ethenol and it will strip the sealer off and deposit it in your carb. (my other post).
I'll check around and see if I can get the name of the stuff I used.
