Default Gas Tank Cleanup

Have two gas tanks 150gal and 50gal...the little one had issues with flow and starved the engine after running for few minutes. I did blow air in the fuel pickup last year just to improve a little bit. Boat still in the driveway and wanted to clean the tank; gas has been siphoned. Any suggestions are most welsome. Following is what I read from internet.....pour 2 gallon alcohol (homedepot brand), let it sit for 30 minutes, siphon it out. repeat 2-3 times...thanks in advance.

Don't recall exact numbers, but I want to say it was in the $300 range for both tanks.
