It had to soak for quite a while, but it did make things come appart. We used to buy it in small (6oz.) cans from a jewellery supply store, but I am sure it would be available in larger sizes.
The other way we used was to "bake" things in the kiln for a while. That might not be a good plan for your tank, but maybe putting the steam cleaner wand in it, and leaving it there until the tank is as hot as possible, would help lossen the fiberglass.

When we started building fiberglass boats for the navy back in '62 we had a similar product..
It is still available..
