Solution that's worked for me. Boat tanks, fuel tanks, hearing oil tanks, radiators, Tig welder cooling system, hydronic water system in my house, etc..
Make a simple recirculation pump/filter system. Pump from eBay, replacement impellers are cheap, various hose fittings and clear hoses for different applications. I use a cleanable air filter or an online filter or a diesel water separator/filter. Whatever applies for the job. Large, clear inline filters are fine for your tank. Use it for returning $$$ super UDT to your system when changing filters; works great and it's filtered.
Saw this when I was a kid and father got a bad batch of heating oil; kept clogging filter. Service man ran it all day through inlet and air escape pipe on tank. Set up in morning, left, returned end of day. Never clogged again. His pump was commercial duty and stirred up tank.
Gets 90% of crap. Run air line in to bubble it up if necessary.
Keep in mind this works for me, might not for you.
Also don't paint or epoxy sending unit on a gasoline system, I wouldn't do diesel either. If you're OCD zink phosphate it.
REMEMBER. Common sense prevails. NO FLAMMABLES!!! A pneumatic pump was used where I worked. But expensive.
