Clean it out well with dish soap and water, then rinse a lot. As a final rinse bleach heavily diluted will kill anything that remains inside. That is how we always did it before/after any field exercises. You may get a slight bleach taste out of the first jug or 2 of water, but it goes away.

I would go to an RV dealer and get the sanitizer for RV storage tanks.. I think it's called Quat sanitizer..
