Cleaning fuel cell

Question

I recently bought a used Jayco Toy hauler that has the fuel tanks in the back.  I thought the toy tank was empty so I put about 15 gallons of gasoline in it and went to the races with our family.  I filled up one of the dirtbikes and thought the gas looked a little "green".  Low and behold it clogged the jets on one of the dirtbikes.  My question is once I pump all of the gasoline out of there is there a way to clean/treat the tank to get whatever is in there out?

Is there no in-line fuel filter between the tank and nozzle?  My WW has one that I change every couple of years.  Have never cleaned the tank but would think you would have to drop the tank to get it flushed out.

your best bet is probably to remove the tank; put in some gas and slosh it around a bunch then dump out the old fuelmaybe add an inline filter

Or just pump out all the fuel, add about a gallon or so and drive it around to slosh it around, then dump that. Repeat until clean. I know at $4.00 a gallon may not be economical but dropping the tank may be a royal PITA.

Seafoam is a good idea also.
