Goo In Fuel Plastic Tank

[hardwaree]

Have a 25 gal. plastic gas tank that’s been sitting for a few years.<br />There is a thick, sticky yellowish brown goo in the tank that we are trying to clean out but nothing seems to break this stuff down. Any suggestions?<br />Thanks, Bill

Sounds like the varnish that's left when gas evaporates over a period of time, try carb cleaner.

If you can find a place that does it, steam cleaning will usually work, too.
