Ok took the tank off and rinsed it out with the gravel and lots of water. Got lots of crap out of it. It is upside down and drying overnight. I don't figure there could be any more water left over than a bottle of HEET can get rid of. Now it is ready yo go back in and the short piece of hose from the fill neck to the cap stem is cracked up. Can I just use some radiator hose? The guy at the parts store said it would eat through in a couple of days as he was trying to sell me a piece of $30 fuel filler hose or something like that. The tank will never be full or for that matter more than half full so the fuel won't sit on the hose or anything.
