I also want to suck the junk out. Last year, I tried to use a stiff plastic tube conneted to a priming pump but I couldn't get into the corners of the tank which is mounted under the cockpit with the fill located in the center of the cockpit sole.

This year I'll try the same plan again but with copper tubing that I can bend to get into the corners.

Might work.
