Not knowing any better I left some gas in the tank of my 5hp rototiller for over a year. The gas eventually evaporated and left a sitcky mess inside the tank. Any suggestions on how to clean it? I've tried cleaning it with new gas, but it is still sticky.
Thanks

Spray some carburetor cleaner in it and slosh it around, should get most of it out. May take nearly a whole can of cleaner though.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I also liked the UPS pilots' report on the condition of their air planes that you posted on 2-cycle repair forum.
