Hi all, I left my RB200 in my shed for almost 4 years and now the fuel ( unsurprisingly) is stale. What’s the best way to clean the tank out? I’ve already clean the carb out with fresh fuel and carb cleaner. Thanks in advance Pete.

If it were me
Take the petrol tap out and clean the filter. Check the rubber grommet in the tap as well.
Fill 1\4 tank with some fresh petrol neat and shake the bike to slosh it round (put tap back in first).
Drain it out see what it looks like, I think it should be just a case of refuelling as normal.
Let us know how you get on
