Clean fuel tank in Swan 41
I am going to clean the diesel tank of a Swan 41, and I wanted to ask if you have experience, and if it is a simple thing to do.  Do you have any suggestions for me?Thanks in advance.

No answers so far. Would like to suggest following:
Open the sounding plug on the tank inspection hatch, and insert a tube attached to a small hand pump through the hole. Pump out the sludge from the deepest part of the tank, which is located near the hole.
Kind regards
Lars

Very easy to do. Just remove the access hatch and have at it.
