I have a 1985 Sea Ray Seville Cuddy with a 26 gallon fuel tank. Apparently, dummy me forgot to put stabil in the tank last winter and I have crud gumming up the fine filter at the inlet to the carb if I run it for only a short while.... like 6 - 10 miles. I have done a lot of work this summer on the boat ( new impeller, new outdrive lift cylinders, new fuel pump, rebuilt the carb among other things) but now I need to know how to clean out this tank. The opening where the sending unit is is only maybe 4 inches wide so how do you clean the inside if that is the only access point? Also if I get it cleaned out should I put an additional inline filter in the fuel line between my tank and the fuel pump or is that not necessary? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks
