Fuel tank removal and clean 1997 250 Yamaha Timberwolf atv how to

Cleaning the inside of a fuel tank is more time consuming than difficult but the big problem is because the tank is vented to a sometimes damp atmosphere, the more it is cleaned the quicker new rust will form unless it is treated or sealed. Below is a link to a UK supplier to provide an example of the sort of thing...

https://www.frost.co.uk/por15-car-bike-motorcyle-fuel-tank-repair-sealer-236ml.html

Begin with putting a pint of paraffin or kerosene in the tank and adding a pound of mixed hardware; nails, screws, washers, nuts and bolts and shaking for as long as it needs to remove the majority of the rust and dirt. Gravel chippings is an alternative.

Once you are satisfied the tank is fairly clean inside, empty, rinse a few times and then wash out with water and detergent. Dry thoroughly.
Remaining rust can be removed by using many different mild acids and the internet is full of ideas using substances as diverse as lemon juice, vinegar, tannic acid, phosphoric acid...

After soaking in the substance of your choice the tank will need washing and drying again before use or treating against future corrosion.

Cleaning your motorcycle tank

USE ELECTROLYSIS. I recently got this bike for free and decided to just fix it myself. One of the major problems was old gelled gas and rust inside the tank. I thought about getting it bead blasted but because of my budget decided to try myself first. I looked online and found out about electrolysis. Finally a use for chemistry class. All you need is a 8-12 volt battery charger, Washing soda (NOT baking soda, It must be sodium carbonate.) water, and a wire hanger ( or something similar). fill the tank to the top with water and 1/3 cups of the Sodium Carbonate. Rig the wire through something non conductive so that it can sit inside the tank without touching the tank (otherwise you'll see some fireworks). Try and bend the wire into some kind of fork shape to get maximum surface area for the rust to grab onto. Once the wire is in place connect the Positive charge to it and the Negative charge to the tank. Leave it for 1-2 days and then take out the wire and clean it, flush the tank with some clean water and start the proccess again. When the tank is clean get some POR15 sealant and make sure your tank is sealed so it won't rust again. For more detailed intsructions just google electrolysis and there is plenty of documentation.

check tank has been drained of fuel check for rust if rust present use rust remover or kream takes 3 days.
clean fuel filter.
clean air filters.
check that youre bike has no low oil pressure cut out if so clean oil filter and replace oil, check oil pressure is maintaining.
if in doubt lubricate wd40 and duck tape can solve 88% of problems.

Bike did not run for a few months , and now when I am starting engine runs and then stops after a minute or two.any help? bad fuel?

This sounds like a typical case of gas going bad and possible rust in your gas tank. Best to drain ALL gas from your tank - if you can easily remove it - take off the petcock and rinse the tank with fresh gas - look for any flakes of rust in the gas you drain out. Once you have the tank fully flushed - clean or replace your fuel filter and I would suspect that it will run just fine.
If you are not going to ride for an extended time frame - add Fuel Stabilizer" to the tank before putting it up. This is available at your local auto parts store. You will thank yourself for taking this precaution.
