Cleaning fuel cell

[jtaubrey]

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?

Cool, I will drop some seafoam in both the generator tank and the toy tank.

Seafoam is known for restoring bad gas back to usable gas. Everytime I fill up my tank I put a can of Seafoam in. Cleans the tank, pump, and the carbs on the generator and bikes.....thats like 5 birds with one stone!

I pumped out everything, cleaned the pump with brake cleaner, and will fill it full next time out and put stabil and seafoam in it at that time. It was pretty green when I emptied it out.

Seafoam is a good idea also.

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.

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

maybe add an inline filter

I don't think there is a filter there..I will double check and see.
