Cleaning the fuel (polishing) , and cleaning the fuel tank are not the same.

Sure the dock walker fuel tank polishing folks make great claims for how well their personal high pressure return fuel blast will clean the tank.

But mere reality intrudes as most tanks have a series of baffels that gunk hides behind , that falls off in the rough to plug the filters.

An inspection port and a wooden scraper is how tanks are cleaned , not a great story.

None would be necessary if the origional purchaser had the experience to demand a proper self servicing fuel tank, or NOT buy the boat.
