1 tablespoon to 1 gallon is the Clorox recommendation. Flush it through all of the lines and let it sit for at least 2 minutes. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup. So if you have a 90 gallon fresh water tank you would need 90 tablespoons or 90/16=5 1/2 cups of bleach.

Drain it all, refill with water only, flush the lines and you are done.
