Default Contaminated tank

I made the mistake of leaving my tank close to empty without the benefit of fuel stabilizer. I am in the process of rebuilding the carb, however I do not know the procedure for cleaning the tank. I can see rust looking sediment on the bottom of my aluminum tank but the fuel looks clear, however when I use the fuel pump to fill an empty clean bottle I see sediment resembling tiny sand particles both in the clear filter housing and in the bottle.

Default RE: Contaminated tank

Welcome,

Sorry that I am unable to give you any advise about your problem but can tell you this type of question should be in the boating forum. I'm sure someone there will be able to give you the advise you need.
