[Mgs] Gas tank woes

[Max Heim]

You are going to have to remove the tank, so forget about fast & easy.

Pull the sender unit. Drain everything you can get. Let dry thoroughly. Drop in a couple feet of heavy link chain and shake every which way but loose. Shake debris out both openings (filler and sender). Repeat. When it stops dumping debris, remove the chain and slosh in some water and detergent, shake some more, drain. When you are happy with the color of the runoff, drain and let dry thoroughly (I would set it out in the sun). Then you might consider a fuel tank coating, although some people have reported problems with these (flaking off and clogging filters).

Considering the effort, a new tank might look like an attractive option.
