There’s a Suzuki DL650 that haven’t been started in six years. I’m slowly working to get it running again, and cleaning rust deposits out of the tank is the current goal. My hand is too big to fit in the hole so I made a thing.

That’s probably a good deal smarter than my usual method, which is to pour a cup or two of kerosene in there plus two handfuls of random small nuts and washers, and shake the shit out of it for a while.
Fuel injected bikes have the advantage of having that nice big hole where the pump mounts. For tanks on carbed bikes, just remember to use hardware small enough to fit out the petcock mounting hole so you can get them out again when you’re done. Usually there’s that damn lip around the filler cap that prevents them from being poured out the easy way afterwards. Or you can chase them with a magnet retriever tool.
