Fuel Tank Cleaning

I have bought a boat that was sitting for almost two years.The previos owner said he put fuel stabilizer in it but I would rather have the tanks pumped and cleaned.Does anybody know of a service in the Atlanta area?Thanks,any help would be appreciated.

Just about anyone can do the sevice but after sitting for 2 years I would have to imagine the stabilizer is anything but. Who knows what resides in there now. I would consider pulling it and having it flushed.

True story,

My father-in-law bought a boat 2 years ago that had been sitting for 7-10 years with half a tank of fuel in it. He burned it all and it was fine, I thought it was unbelievable.

I just took a long fuel hose jacked up the front end of boat and drained the tank through the transom plug into gas cans and put it in my truck.filled her up and have not thought about it since. :cool:
