Easy clean for a gas tank:
Muriatic acid. You can buy the stuff at Home Depot. Pour a couple of
gallons in the tank, and let it sit. Depending on how much crap you
have in the tank will determine how long you want to leave it.
I did this with a tank that was pretty rusty inside, and it loosened up
a lot of the crud.
You can also spend about 100 to 200 to have a company use harsher
chemicals or an electrical process to remove the crud. More expensive,
but removes more crud too.
Fuel Lines:
Blow them out. Easiest way to go. If they show signs of deterioration
or leaking, just replace.
Fuel Filer:
Probably the best, easiest, and cheapest way to go is what you
described. A clear plastic disposable filter you can check and see if
there's crud in it.
