[QUOTE="Dennis Meyers, post: 1311355, member: 20695"] I have a 2000 Sherco 2.0 which appears to have almost never been ridden. The problem is, old fuel was left in the tank. I have had the Dellorto off 3 times to clean it. There was a white pasty residue clogging the Pilot and Main plus build-up in the float bowl. I emptied the tank and rinsed it with fresh gas the first time I cleaned the carb, but I think I may need something a bit more powerful. I was thinking about removing the tank again and maybe using Acetone, and letting it sit overnight, then flushing with hot soapy water. Any thoughts? Is the acetone safe for the fuel tank? I've used it many times for cleaning leftover adhesive from tanks and shrouds before installing new graphics, I've just never used it to clean the inside of a tank before. [/QUOTE]
