Clearing sediment from fuel tank
 
So I thought I was going to be lucky and just use a syringe but need something powered I was thinking of a 12v pump that you use for oil changes, any ideas ?
Thanks

What sediment do you have in the tank? Last time I looked in mine it was spotless (195,000 miles diesel). If you do have some muck in there then pump out what you can using the intank pump before using a vacuum pump. You'll have to access both sides of the tank separately as well. Unless you know you've got bad sediment I'd leave well alone and save yourself the effort.

Thanks it’s for my 800 I was hoping to use an oil change pump but reading up they are not to be used for fuel, the fuel filler pipe disintegrated and I have some debris on the bottom of the tank and was hoping to siphon out https://i.imgur.com/nkBbiYx.jpghttps://i.imgur.com/nkBbiYx.jpg
