Carl,

<div>I have been adding gas into the tank to try and loosen some of this stuff up, do until things dry out do not think that sticky stuff will work at this point. May help is it dries out.</div>

<div>I can’t see the pictures, however, what you can try is putting a sticky substance, like a wadded up ball of masking tape or duct tape on a stick. Tilt the tank so that all pieces drop to one end. Then use the stick to poke into the tank and pickup the
pieces. Change as necessary.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anything that you can drop into the tank and fish back will work, as long as it’s got some grab power.</div>

<div dir="ltr">See photos below of stuff from Cub gas tank. Need a good way to clean it out. It appears that sometime in it’s past life someone tried to install a gas tank liner that failed and now looks like the pictures. Most of this came out using a salad
tong, but as prices are getting smaller, it is getting less each time I try to grab some. Tried using a “air chugger pump” with limited success. Stuff is too “clumped” to run out of tank bottom outlet. Blowing air into the tank moves the stuff, but does not
get it out. </div>
