need help to clean out fuel tank
I have a 2000 Polaris Trail Blazer and it had been sitting for a couple of years so the fuel in the tank got all gooey. I want to know if anyone knows what I can do to clean out the sludge. And if you have any other tips on what i need to do to try and get it running again. Thank you so much.

WELCOME!!
First off, Remove the tank. Get yourself some plastic safe carb/throttle body cleaner and spray and let sit. Then flush with more spray and let sit.. you will get it!!

Replacing the in-line filter might not be a bad idea as well

Gasoli...oh wait.. Try a degreaser like simple green or purple power. When I was in the military I used simple green to clean everything, and I use pruple power now to clean jelly-like crude oil from wellheads. I think you will have the best results with carb cleaner though, that stuff eats through anything.
