Default Cleaning diesel tank

This winter I plan on removing my stainless steel fuel tank, so this is a
good time to clean the inside.
I figured I'd take it somewhere that does this sort of thing...steam it out,
I thought. The place recommended by my local fuel distributor said he would
just use a pressure washer, cold at that, and that I could do that as well
as he.
Now, maybe he is thinking of a 10,000 gal tank which is somewhat larger than
what I'm dealing with. Same principles would apply, but he'd have better
access than I will thru the little clean-out hole.
Anybody have experience with this ? Any suggestions ?




My neighbor does fuel polishing. He sucks the fuel out, filters it,
and puts it back under high enough pressure to stir up the crap on the
bottom and around and round it goes til his filter no longer picks up
anything.
Many tanks have little or no access. He cuts a hole and installs an
access port or two as necessary.
