Yes it is a terrible job, but it is working, I place the fuel tank on a bar stool or something like that and shake it for an hour or so (I is a great job for your wife or kids ) then I let it stand over night and give it another hour with shaking before I clean it out (Yes it is a hassle to) when it is clean I mix hot water and baking soda to nutralize the vinegar and flush it a couple of times more before I place a heat gun in one of the holes for 20-30 minutes to dry it out.
If you do not want to use grawel or nuts and bolts you could use a chain and attatch one end of it on the outside, it does not work so good as the grawel but it is easier to get out.

Check on youtube and look for videos for using Vinegar for cleaning gas tanks. Very good way to clean the rust out of the tanks.
