I Need To Drop The Fuel Tank

[chromebumpers]

Hopefully I’m not going to find any big problems but I’m curious what can be used to flush out any residue left behind after draining.

fuel tanks can be surprisingly heavy, especially if some fuel is still in the tank,
so a trans jack with a 2ft x 2ft square piece of 3/4" plywood under the tank ,
for support during the removal or install might be a good idea in some cases,
obviously if your working under a car/truck with fuel, theres some potential for fuel leaks,
and fuel vapor , thus there is a significant risk of fire,
if your not careful so take precautions as required.

I've generally dropped a gallon of diesel fuel ,and a quart of fuel tank cleaner,
like this linked above and dropped in about 20 feet of
chain into the fuel tank

then sloshed the contents around a good deal agitating the mix for 20-30 minutes then flush with a detergent like SIMPLE GREEN
and a couple gallon's of water then dry with high pressure air and a nozzle , then carefully inspect with a bright flash light.

followed by a water removal process that starts with

lots of high pressure air jets blasting the moisture out of anyplace it might collect in,
followed by the use of a heat gun
obviously you use a good quality fuel filter after that cleaning
the chains easy to remove with a strong magnet tied on a bit of para cord

Remove and drain and remove all fittings/senders--send to radiator shop and if it has hole they will fix. What I've always done. I rode one out the shop door soldering it up after I washed it out.
