My truck has a welded on gas tank about 40 gal. heavy guage steel (the fill cap says "fuel oil", kinda cool). The tank is welded to the frame with some monsterous welds. The truck has been sitting for some time is there some type of additive I can use to "clean" the tank? Or atleast prevent crap from getting into the fuel line.

It's going to be pretty difficult to clean the tank without removing it. I've never heard of a tank being welded to the frame. Since the cap says fuel oil, it probably wasn't built to be a gas tank in the first place. Fuel oil is what you use in an oil fired furnace.

Your only choice is to filter the fuel. I would install a diesel type particulate and water separator for best results.
