Gross is no problem. A beetle one won't fit. They are not "sealed" 
when new and don't need to be now. You only need to worry about 
rust thru and large amounts of flakey rust that will clog your filter. A 
thin layer of surface rust is no problem even if it covers the entire 
tank.

If there really was still gas in there, then it is probably not too bad.

Chances are that you can take it out, remove the brass filter 
screen from the bottom and clean it out and use it. I have some 
good tanks, but I don't know where you are.
