What are you trying to achieve? Derust the inside or paint off the outside?

The inside of the tank has the remnants of some sort of sticky clear lining stuck to it in patches.
I can get to some of them and scrape it away, but want rid of it all inside everywhere, hence an acid dip.

Frost tank strip is what you want. Designed to dissolve out an old tank liner. Bare in mind it was lined previously for a reason.

As you’re not worried about the paint. There are companies that will bake the tank hot enough to cremate the liner.
