Default How to thoroughly clean the water tank?

Does anybody have any tricks up their sleeves when it comes to cleaning the fresh water holding tank so that it does not taste foul or like a garden hose???

Thanks!!!

SUUUURE!!!...easy stuff.......first off....take about a cup of bleach....maybe 2 depending on how big the tank is...but usually a cup of chlorine bleach is plent...let it sit for a day...but also pump it thru the system.....drain...fill....drain..fill..this time...put about a cup of white vinegar into the tank and then push thru the system...finally...drain....refill with fresh water...your done...
