You're going to have to take the tank OUT to do this.
Otherwise you will not get the required motion to get the miscreant to where
you can see it.
DON'T use anything that has abrasive particles in it! (Like scouring powder,
no matter how fine.)

If you are in open air away from the car, and the tank has been drained dry,
I would think the explosion hazard no worse than at your local gas station,
and I would not put water in it because of the difficulty getting the same
water back out. Just getting the tank dry and shaking it around should make
the location of the miscreant fairly clear. Baffles will be (bafflingly) in
the way.

On the other hand if there is already water or powdery residue in the tank of
some color (white, gray, tan, red, etc) it might be worthwhile to wash it to
get it fairly clean but I would rinse until for SURE no longer soapy and then
rinse once with denatured alcohol after the water has apparently dried as much
as it will.
