I am about to receive a new to me 8 hp Yamaha 4 stroke motor. I have a 6 gal. gas tank that was use with a 2 cycle motor (recently). It has about a quart of gas left in it, but I'm unsure how long it was used in that capacity. My question is can I empty the old gas out and just use it. ( I would expect the new motor to smoke some and maybe foul out plugs early ) or can I just rinse it with so gas or something else and use it or is there a better way to clean it or do I / should I just get another tank and hose?
 
I would dump the old fuel out and put fresh in it. Whatever traces of oil in the tank or line won't be noticeable or hurt anything
