Are you switching from one fuel to another or are you just wanting to clean the tank ?if you are staying with one fuel you can call someone who does fuel polishing!! otherwise it can be a real mess! or if your going to do it yourself empty the tank out completly. they also have additives that you can add to the fuel

Tanked,
Don't know where you are located, but there is a guy in central FL with a mobile truck, vacuum,and tank who did my previous boat, Wellcraft Coastal for $ 130 back in 2009.
Hardee Environmental Services, Okeechobee, FL 772-408-3442. He charged $ 65 per hour, cleaned the tank and disposes of the old fuel. He met me in Yeehaw Juction to split the differnce of the drive.
I add Star Tron now every time I fill my SeaCraft and haven't had any more issues with ethanol or other gunk. Good luck.
Jaybo.

Thanks jaybo. I'm a little north of you. New England. I'll try and find someone local. I sure there is someone up here that does it. Moving from whalers to seacraft. Not used to internal tanks.

The pickup is mounted pretty far back and you can syphion most everuything out if its on a trailer. You will have to add some fuel line to get it low enough but it go like crazy and get most everything.
