Default fuel tank cleaning

Does it have a gauge sender you can remove? That would let you see what
you're dealing with in the tank. Also would let you make suire you are
getting a syphon line all the way to the bottom. Normal fuel pickups do not
go to the bottom to avoid picking up the water and crud that eventually
accumulates. Alcohol might work for cleaning it. It also will help get
water out.

tank from boat, and it will not move. wedged in between the live wells
and seems to be stuck to the floor.its a steel 1979 tank mounted in my
glastron bass boat. has bad fuel in it.i did pump out most of the
fuel, but the live wells are so close to tank and it appears to be
stuck in place. so now im thinking of triing to flush the tank in its
place. any sugestions on how and what to use to flush tank. do i use
gasoline to flush with. and should i just put something in it and then
remove it.what will work? any sugestions on what to do. thanks
