Cleaning Underdeck tanks

Hi All,

Boat being changed from two stroke OB to 4 stroke.

How do you clean out the remnants of the 2 stroke (mixed with oil) fuel so that you can put in 4 stroke (no oil) without contamination?

Thanks in advance.

A bit of 2 stroke mix won’t hurt, don’t worry about it.
