You're right about one thing, for sure...never put water in a fuel tank...ever, unless you are going to weld on it immediately. I've heard of different methods for cleaning and drying, but never using Sta-bil. No experience there. Best method I've heard is to rinse it several times with pump gas, (dispose of safely and environmentally correct), then rinse thoroughly with methanol. Leave it in a well vented place, open as much as possible, and check/shake it periodically.
If it's never had anything in it other than gas, it should be okay. After installing it, make certain you have a fuel filter before the pump, and be prepared to change it frequently at first.
