My neighbor got pissed at the kids for riding the 3 wheeler to much and decided to dump my tank full of sand. Whats the best way to flush the fuel system.

Dammit!

Good Awnser.............Or take the tank off and repetedly flush with gas, and then install a little inline fuel filtre, you will also have to take the carb off and give it a good cleaning compressed air.

Absolutely agreed!!!!!!!!

Remove the tank----Fill it with kerosene, cap it, slush it around, and then gently rotate the tank so the filler is facing down, and dump it, .. It may take two or three tries . If you have a fuel pump, I would replace it. REbuild the carb and you will be fine......The hard part wil be "Telling" (NOT ASKING) this inconsiderate PR**K to pay for it.

You'll most likely never get every bit out, so install a good inline filter to catch those last hold outs.

If you have a good petcock valve no sand should be in the carb. You'll have to remove the petcock and take it apart to get it good and clean. You can flush the tank alot easier with it off also.

Nooo!!! That would be lame. Make sure you empty it right back into his car's gas tank. Payback is a b...

well, I cleaned it all out and put it back together and it seems fine. i rode about 10 miles today and other than a running a little rough at low speeds, it runs great again.

I can't believe someone would have the nerve/guts to do that. That's horrible.

I think that vandilizing somebody else's posseion is absolutly retarded in every sense..... It solves nothing and they will just do it to you....

I think you should walk right up to his front door and confront him about it! If that dosn't work, don't vandalize his stuff. Get more creative.......
