Hey Gillie, see if you and find a 12v 1/4" or 3/8" electric fuel pump. The one I used was a racing fuel pump, it primed very quickly and moved quite a bit of gas rather fast. On my friends boat I was able to tilt the boat as far down as it would go on the trailer and then jacked up one side of the trailer to move all the gas to the front corner of the tank. A coat hanger or stiff wire tie wrapped to the hose bent in JUST the right angle will get the hose to the corner. If the shortest distance from the fuel guage hole to the tank's corner wall is the rear of the tank , just jack the boat trailer up as high as you can. To finally clean it I took a wash rag...with no loose threads....and tie wrapped it to a coat hanger, stuffed it through the fuel guage hole and swabbed it around the tank, pulling it out and wringing it dry then do over and over until clean. Kinda time consuming however it's now clean and all the bad gas/water and goo was removed.

Thanks Don. The remaining fuel is probably less than a Tijuana shot of tequila so I don't know that it warrants trying to pump it out. I think the rag on a wire will absorb that much no problem. My baffle is in the front third of the tank so I'll have to target the aft end.
Except where the sediment is visible, the tank looks very clean. Should I soak the rag in a sovent or WD40 or any thing, or just wipe what I can? Dave, Thanks for the reminder. Glad to know I didn't over think that.
