Question
How do i clean the gas tank and gas lines. The tank is plastic

Answer
 Hello Bob:

 Stuff a Shop Rag (any Lint Free Rag) into the Tank. Take a Long Screwdriver and Move the Rag Around inside the Tank and Clean the Tank as Best you can. Remove the Rag and Blow the Tank Out with Compressed Air. Blow Out the Gas Lines. If the Gas Lines are Dry Rotted, then Replace it. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please. I enjoy knowing the Outcome. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
