Default Fuel Tank Clean Out

I have the fuel tanks out of my boat right now and was wondering if anyone has a good way to clean the residue out of the inside of them.

Unfortunately ethanol seems to be doing a very good job of breaking up the residue.

if you can get your hands on some surface cleaner #3 made by carboline that should do the trick.

Take them to a radiator shop and have them steamed out. Brian
