the usual procedure is to try and clean it several times, get stranded all over the place and then replace the tank. One might consider proceeding directly to step two. Its not that bad a job to replace it. Remove the airbox and tube Remove the 4 engine mount bolts and two top trainey bolts lower the engine ~12 inches remove the gas tank cover there are two straps holding the tank, remove 13 mm nuts (from below) remove the sending unit and ground wires (from top center) loosen clamp and slip fill hose off tank disconnect vavor lines remove tank if the sending unit worked, swap it with the one in the new tank You should be able to do it all in a morning. Good luck Martin
