Shop says I need a new Gas tank. Acid no good?

So my fuel pumps got clogged up again and maybe burned out (great). This time I actually took my tank out and was going to replace the screen filter and the hose. I drain the gas I put in there about two hours prior, and it comes out yellow and a LOT of black and orangish flakes everywhere.

So I took the tank to a radiator shop to get washed or acid washed? The guy said I just need a new tank cause if he washes it with acid it will burn through the aluminum. Should I go with his advice and buy a new tank or is there some other liquid out there that can beat the crap out of the junk inside that tank? I'm torn between if he's being honest or trying to make a quick buck off me?
