1/4 fill it with sand & shingle, strap it to the back of a flatbed truck and
spend the day offroading in it.

I thought that would be a requisite before you even start working on the
tank :-)

Drywall screws seem like a good idea until they wedge themselves in
the corners of the tank. Then they are a right pain to remove.

For chemicals, I like the phosphoric acid because it changes the
remaining rust into a protective hard grayish-black layer.
