Sludge in gas tank, 1996 gsx r750

I have "green gas" in the tank of my 1996 gsx r750. What is the best and easiest way to clear the pet cocks and fuel pump? P.S. Rust is not the issue.

Unless you are confident the "sludge" can be dissolved by some additive your only option is remove the gas tank and reverse-flush the pump. I'm not even sure that is possible on your particular pump. If the pump is acting up I would at least remove it and get as much sludge out of it as I could. If the pump is not acting up I would remove the tank and rinse out as much sludge as possible and install an inline filter before the carburetors to keep an eye on it. Use good clamps and check it often for leaks. After you are sure the sludge is out of your tank you can remove the filter.

This has an inline filter in the pipe from the tank, if injected, flush the tank, find the little filter and remove it clean it, and then put half gallon in and turn on with a pipe connected to the pump and not to the engine, let it flush the pump with the fresh fuel into a bucket.
