Best tank cleaner

[tonytiger]

Can anyone suggest the best way to clean a petrol tank on a steamer, the tank seams to have grit or sediment in it.
Thanks

take the tank off the bike . but only after there is only a gallon or so left in it .
shake it up good to get the sediment floating in the fuel
set tank down on front end so petcock end is at top
remove petcock
pour the fuel out the petcock opening into a suitable container (read this as big ass pan)
most or all of the crud should come out
if not repeat as necessary

Be ultra careful taking the petcock screws out and do not be tempted to over tighten when putting them back.

If there has been that much cr@p in there, it would be a good idea to check the inline filter at the carbs and probably give the carbs a duffing up as well.
