If the label has baked to the point of crumbling (due to the effects of UV sun exposure), peel what you can as members suggested. Any annoying residue can be "polished" or wiped off with common varsol / recordsol, followed up by soap and water (or similar), and if required, some vehicle polish. Remember: In the case of the tank, the paint is gasoline resistant (to a point), so recordsol is relatively mild. Depending on the adhesive, rubbing alcohol might be enough too, as well as cooking oil/olive oil. Always try in a small area first to check results.
Avoid use of products like "Goof-off" and similar acetone-based gunk removers. You will take the finish coat off. Unless you are extremely steady-handed, maybe avoid the razor blade too.
