Re: Stus-List 37/40+ fuel tank clean out

[Ken Heaton via CnC-List]

If your tank is like ours, almost all the gunk is in the Racor and very
little is left in the tank.  The fuel pickup seems to get it all to the
Racor.

Last time I had a little bit of water and gunk in the bottom of the fuel
tank I used our Pela 6000 Oil Extractor to suck it up.

You can pull the fuel gage sending unit under the queen berth and access
the tank that way.

Stus-List 37/40+ fuel tank clean out

[Alan Liles via CnC-List]

I'm currently trying to clean my fuel tank. I've pumped out all I can get 
through the engine fuel supply line. I'm planning on sucking the bottom out 
through the full line. My question, to all you 37+ owners, is; Is there a 
cleanout port on the top of the tank? I don't want to remove the berth and find 
that I have to remove the tank to get it clean. That's a job for the off 
season.
