I can be cleaned but I would replace the Low pressure fuel pump as it was sitting in it. And if it was started with the wrong fuel then the fuel lines would have to be replaced also. It is a very expensive task rebuilding the fuel the system, if you want to do it right.

would pull rear seat bottom out, then unscrew the black metal plates with 10mm bolts off then remove the tank sender unit and use a hand pump suck it out easiest and fast way and can get all the fuel out for sure,
