MEK works great off aluminum and paint.
Also something they sell in Walmart in the automotive department called "Aircraft stripper". It's in a spray can. you spray it on and It causes the paint to bubble and you wipe it clean.
FYI, Wear saftey glasses and rubber gloves while spraying and a bandana over your mouth. You breath this, get it on your skin, or in your eyes, and you cry like a baby.
One more thing. thouroughly wash tank with soapy water afterwards. You want to stop the reaction of the paint stripper so it won't pit the aluminum.
