I have a 4 PVC pipe coupling and a ½ 90 degree metal electrical conduit bend from Home Cheapo as a blow dry stand.
Use hot water from the tap for the final rinse, as hot as you can get it. For the most part this will be between 120 and 140F and way below any Aluminum aging temps that you would need to worry about. Fill the tank completely and let it sit for a few minutes. The outside tank temp will get close to the water temp. Now quickly drain the water and put in the 90 degree bend and place upside down so that the tank drains on the coupling for support. A 30 second shot of compressed air/nitrox/O2 from a SCUBA tank should have it completely dry. I have never needed more then 2 shots.
Use some good gloves as the tank will be painful to touch at anything above 110F
This also works well for steel and I dont get any flash rust.
