Cleaning fuel tank after removal and storage

I tore my bike down before winter storage, emptied tank and fogged it with WD40, stored that in my home. I just looked inside and it's clean as a whistle. Should I clean it with anything before using it? I have a can of acetone, or I could just use regular gasoline. I dont know what effect WD40 would have running through the fuel system...

How much liquid wd40 is still in the tank? I'd imagine very little.

Drain out as much as possible with the petcock, and fill it with gas. That residual wd40 might knock down a few miles per gallon the first tank, but would be pretty much gone by the time you haveto fill up again.

It was only a fog, so not even enough to drip. So, I'll just wipe it clean and fill it up. Thanks
