| Flushing Fuel Tank
Just bought my first coastal cruiser, and fouled the fuel filter on the transit to home port. Ocean swells broke loose sludge from bottom of tank. This tank is 20 gal. aluminum box, one 2" fill hose and two fuel lines (uptake and return). I'd have to take out the water heater to remove it, so I'm hoping to be able to do this in situ. After I pump out the tank and get that filler hose off, what is the correct procedure to flush/clean the tank? Is the fuel able to be cleaned, or just hazardous waste now? Simple procedure, I know: just want to get it right. Thanks!
