how do you remove fuel tank and clean it?

[562s13]

i have a s13 and i want to take off the gas tank and clean the inside of it. how do i go about doing this and can i just use gas, have me and a friend shake it vigorously (sp?) and be done? i want to clean it because previous owner lived in desert and had it sitting for a while with no gas so im concerned of it having any dust in it.. any info would be great. srry im kind of a noob at this but hey we all start somewhere.... lol
