The current Mutation (Chainsaw Massacre) makes this very easy to do solo in the campaign as the both you and the AI have only Chainsaws. Although you have to watch out for a downed AI player as they can still shoot.

DOES NOT HAVE TO BE DONE IN CAMPAIGN! The quickest and easiest way to do this is to start up a Survival match. You'll get a Tank within a minute and you & your friends can easily hack him to death - so long as no explosives or gas cans are accidentally set off. Even then, it's easy as pie to restart the match and try again.

Probably best done on easy, however my friends and I did this on normal. Simply arm everyone with a melee weapon (if you can find a chainsaw that's a plus) and encircle the tank when he tries to attack you. As long as everyone gets a hit or two in, the achievement will unlock for everyone once the tank dies.

The super easy way.
you'll need two controllers.
load up a split screen versus private match
(Play Versus>Play With Friends>Create New Lobby>The Parish>Private Game> Create lobby)
then you want to go to Edit game Settings and choose the Bridge as the chapter.
once the game starts the survivor will need to kill all the teammates. grab a pipe bomb and a adrenaline if available.
once you killed your team you head out onto the bridge, you will find a melee weapon about half way through, and then again when you can go to the "top" of the bridge.
now once you make it to the part where the tank spawns, you will need to melee the tank 8-9 times, BUT DO NOT KILL HIM.
once the tank is one hit from being dead take control of the second controller and run back to the safe room (where you began) you will eventually loose control of the tank.
from here grab the first controller and climb ontop of one of the trucks. once you see the tank wait for it to climb the truck as its climbing start beating on it until it dies. a few seconds will pass and the achievement will unlock.
Good Luck
Update: to get the achievement this way you will have to clear the system cache and be offline to prevent any AI special infected from spawning

It may or may not be a glitch but I got it cause my friend who was player 2 hit it with a machete a couple times and started running around one of the holes in the ground (in the bridge level) and the tank ran into it. Because he only used melee it counted for the achievement. very unlikely to happen for me again but thought it would help everyone else
if anyone tries this and it works for you please let me know. I'd love to find out if this works for others

Confirmed works a treat.
Just setup a Last Man on Earth on easy on the parish bridge finale. Ran up to the tank, Melee'd him once or twice (he bashes you around alot but doesn't do too much damage on easy) then ran towards the safe room and he never makes it. Achievement popped.

Not sure if this was already said, but for players who can't play online (or perfer to play offline, no friends that play live, can't seem to do it, etc) Put it on expect on the last level (bridge). shoot the AI to the point where they can hardly move and have no healing packs. After this turn it on easy. now race across the bridge. along the way get a melee and about half way the tank spawns. Hit him one time ( I hit him while he was getting up on the truck) then run to the end. By then your weak AI should be dead and you can win the game, everything dies which means you get it!
note: i had to do this 3 times, your main problems are the AI not dying and getting a hit on the tank. Or the hunters, etc. have fun! :)

Load the game on the last level of dark carnival on easy. If you dont have a full party and only have say 2-3 friends then change the difficulty to normal, kill the AI controlled survivor, and then change it back to easy. Go out to the stage and it is loaded with guitars, everyone should pick those up and be ready for the horde. Within a minute or two the tank should spawn and just beat him down. Now the reason you killed the other survivor is to keep them from killing the tank with a firearm. Worked great for me and my friends and for several others I have mentioned this too.

Best done with 3 or 4 friends, however I did it with only my sister and with 2 people, it wasn't that hard to do, on easy. First, start any finale, I did it on dark carnival because it has 4 guitars, but any one will work, find melee weapons and kill any AI teammates (by switching the difficulty to expert, then switch it back to easy when you're done). nEXT activate the finally and hold out until a tank comes along. Then you and at least 1 partner circle around him and while swinging your weapons like crazy, you will be hit alot but this is of little consequence on easy. I reccomend you use a pipe bomb to keep the common infected distracted while you focus solely on the tank. It will only take a dozen direct hits to finish him off.
Just make sure the AI are dead, the difficulty is on easy and no one uses anything but melee weapons. Pretty easy (but it's very hard to do alone)

Since the title update allows for AI to play as special infected during versus, it is best to flush your system cache and play offline if playing solo.
1) Have one person as a survivor and one as an infected.
2) Start any ending sequence to a campaign.
3) Kill off the AI survivors.
4) Wait/Play the ending until the tank spawns while clearing common infected.
5) Knock the tank down to a small amount of health and move the tank and survivor to opposite ends of the map.
6) The tank will charge now being controlled by the CPU, so swing away.
* You must let the CPU take over control of the tank.

Possibly the easiest way to get this achievement.
It's kind of like cheating, Enjoy.
There is always a melee weapon on the second floor in the corner by all the tables and chairs, next to that dead body.

Taking the idea of the Parish bridge finale, I found it was quite difficult not to get jumped by a hunter or jockey if doing it solo. I did this split screen co-op with a friend, and it took us a number of attempts before we perfected it. I know other people have posted similar guides, but this guide goes into detail for a 2 person co-op solution.
To do it this way:
- Pick up only melee weapons, health packs and adrenaline.
- Switch to a harder difficulty level and knock the AI team members to red health. If they heal, repeat.
- Just as you lower the bridge, incapacitate (but not kill, or they will respawn) the AI team members.
- Call a vote and switch difficulty to easy.
- Run the bridge, and when you reach the tank, hit him once with a melee weapon, then escape.
- Proceed to the end of the finale. When the bridge is blown up by the military, the tank dies and you’ll receive the achievement as the only damage he took from the survivors was from melee weapons.
Notes:
- There’s only one melee weapon in the safe room. The other player’s will be in a weapons cache under a truck. Until then, the player who gets their melee weapon first should lead the charge.
- For a player to get the achievement, he must hit the tank at least once with a melee weapon and survive the finale. Both players must do this if you both want the achievement.
- You encounter the tank at the bit where you must climb the tanker’s ladder (on the left) to continue. From there onwards, we encountered no further special infected, so you should be able to just make a run for it, even if your buddy has been knocked down by the tank.
- It helps to do a run for each player, rather than both at once, as one player can distract the tank (be the first to approach) as the other hits him and then escapes.
- Use your adrenaline when you see the tank – it helps for the escape and last sprint to the end. Don't forget you'll equip back to your main gun, not your melee weapon, once the syringe has been used.
- If you’re about to be incapacitated, stop swinging your weapon. You’ll switch to pistol if knocked down and it’s easy to accidently put a bullet in the tank if you’re not careful.

Unless you're really, really, REALLY lucky, i suggest you do this with friends. You can try doing this alone (no AI and no online players) but I wouldn't recommend it since the AI Tank targets one survivor at a time. The trick is to have one human player distract the Tank (have the Tank go after the one survivor) and have the rest of the human players attack the tank from the back, and just alternate every time the tank targets someone else. I did this with one other player on easy, and (could someone confirm this) I believe that the achievement goes to the entire team, not just the killer. If you have any issues, feel free to post a comment

Here's my way
1: have 2, 3 or 4 players and if you have 1 2 or 3 AI then kill them why? becuse everone has to use melee wepons and cant use guns
2: start up a survival or a last level on easy then find some melee wepons.
3: once someone started the horde keep on killing the horde untill you get a tank you will kown becuse of the music
4: your team has the options to charge the tank or let the tank come to your team.
5: everone use their melee wepons on tank
6: once he is dead you get you're achievement

This method still works in 2020. 100% solo, no split screen, no AI to mess it up.
Select mutation for the game type.
Press
to cycle through the mutations until you get "Last Man On Earth".
This ensures that there are no other survivors and only special infected will spawn.
Select "The Parish" campaign.
Select chapter 5 "Bridge".
Set the difficulty to easy.
Start the game.
When you spawn in the safe room pick up a melee weapon, first aid kit (just in case) and an adrenaline shot.
Leave the safe room, use the walkie talkie and the bridge controls to start the level. From here you just run ignoring whatever type of infected spawns in the first area. Keep going and you'll eventually head up a ramp onto another section of bridge. When you drop down from this section the tank music should start.
The tank usually spawns ahead of you further down the bridge rarely it can spawn behind you.
Use the adrenaline shot and do what you can to avoid the chunks of concrete and cars he may toss at you. All you need to do now is hit him once and then run for it to the end of the level.
As soon as you get in the back of the chopper and the cut scene starts the achievement should pop.

This achievement can either be really hard or really easy.
I earned this achievement by playing a Mutation that involves the use of only melee weapons. To play these mutations you need The Passing DLC. Either "Chainsaw Massacre" or "Four Swordsmen Of The Apocalypse" works to obtain this achievement. The AI, and you as well, are limited to either chainsaws or katanas.
Just play on easy mode and the Tank will go down fairly easily. The achievement pops up after the tank has done his dying faint animation.

this solution is for 2 player split-screen co-op , Load the first episode dead center , streets , on easy. make your way to the dumpster under the over pass that has the ladder to get over to the other side of the highway. kill all the zombies around. change the difficulty to expert and kill the 2 AI team mates. change the difficulty back to easy. Make sure both of you have an axe , you can find an axe in the rooms you have to go through to get to this point and make sure your health is high as possible right now. Go through the next area until the tank comes and just melee him to death. don't just stand in one spot run around in circles and strike him as much as possible. when your friend is being chased are hit by the tank , that is a great time to hit him from behind. It worked great for me and my friend. make sure you stay together and watch each others back , because the special infected are a pain in the butt. we made it through just fine. the first time we tried it one of us used a chain saw and the achievement did not unlock. So we didn't use the chain saw the second time. I'm not sure why it didn't unlock with the chainsaw. good luck.

If you have not gotten this achievement by the August 2012 update there is a very easy way to do it. Simply start up the mutation game mode "Chainsaw Massacre" and play through until you get a tank. Alone, or with friends. Everyone (including the A.I.) is only allowed to use chainsaws.

So this guide is completely luck-based, as you have no real control over what happens. It's all up to the enemy spawns.
So me and one of my friends were on Hard Rain, Chapter 2, Easy difficulty, going for the Sob Story achievement. We had killed the two A.I.'s and left them dead so they wouldn't ruin it for us. Well I ended up getting that achievement, but in the field before the safe room, my friend got incapacitated, and I just ran for the safe room.
By this point a lot of Special Infected had spawned, including a Tank and a Charger. While my friend lay dying in the field, I got into the safe room, and closed the door. Since my friend was still alive, the level didn't end, and the Tank and Charger happened to both be pounding on the safe room door, with the Tank slightly in front of the Charger....
You can probably guess what happened. The Charger ended up killing the Tank, and both me and my friend got the achievement. We couldn't believe our luck, since we were both dreading having to do this one eventually.
Needless to say, you'll need at least two real people for this, and all the A.I. have to be dead. At least one of you has to stay outside the safe room and get downed on purpose. Then hopefully the same enemies spawn, and in just the right way so that you don't have to do a thing for this achievement!

TANK BURGER - 30G (Original Achievement)
Difficulty: Moderate
Estimated Period of Time: Short
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get this Achievement, you must kill a Tank by using Melee Weapons only.
This is best done in a boosting session to avoid frustration.
Tanks, for those that don't know, are giant brute infected (imagine the Hulk as a zombie), they can punch you across the room, and can pick up slabs of concrete from anywhere and toss them at you from a distance.
Load up the Dark Carnival Campaign and go to the Settings. In here, switch the difficulty to Easy and the level to Chapter 5, then start the game.
Once in the level, run forward until you arrive at the Concert stage. Get on the stage and get a Guitar as your melee weapon. (Make sure your friends do the same.) Head up the stands to activate the lights, and defend yourselves from the horde. While fighting, a song will be playing, this song will switch to a remixed version of the tank theme when a Tank shows up. Once you hear it, switch weapons and hunt it down. It doesn't matter who hit it the most or anything as long as it dies by melee weapons only, everyone gets the Achievement.

This is easily done in the Chainsaw Massacre Mutation, Easy difficutly. Even the bots pick up chainsaws by default so you should be OK unless one of them gets downed. They will fire on the Tank with thier pistols if incapped. Fortunately, on Easy difficulty, the chainsaws will make quick work of the Tank. Good Luck!

This may be a little tricky, but it is possible with several human players. Make sure everyone on your team has a melee weapon, if there are any AI players change the difficulty to Expert and kill them. Change the difficulty back to Easy/Normal and make your way through whichever level/finale you decide to do this one.
Once a Tank shows up make sure everyone uses a melee weapon. Once the Tank has been killed the achievement will unlock. If a single player fires a bullet at the tank you will have to try on another run.
