This stupid tank.... Whoever originally painted it should be plagued with the armpit lice of 1000 camels...
I have put probably 4 hours of constant sanding with 60, then 120, then 220, and now with red scotchbrite. Still another 4 hours left before I'll be happy with it. I think it's going to go bright white.
Here's how it looked when I bought it. The tank is the only plastic piece that is still with this bike. The rest were ruined and easily replaced.

Here is how it looked after 2.5 years of riding and pressure washing.

And some sanding dry.

Wet sanding starts to really clean it up.

I have to put in a few more hours or sanding and scotchbriteing.
