Removed the fuel pump today on my 2007 Hayabusa, been sitting 3 plus years. A lot of crud in the tank and on the pump housing, etc. What's the best method for cleaning the tank out thoroughly? Thanks in advance.

So, I checked into the tank cleaning, 2 gallons of white vinegar, soak 24-48 hours, then rinse with baking soda/water combo, blow out with compressed air, then heat gun or blow dryer to dry thoroughly and fill with fuel.
I'll post my tank cleaning adventure when I'm finished.
