Water drain in fuel tank blocked

[Iain66]

Afternoon all ,,
A little advice needed,
Couldn't start , turned over but no fire ,
RAC turned up checked and tried brake cleaner tho airbox and she fired , recovered to garage as he gave up .
They found that water drain near full cap was blocked letting water into tank , my fault for not noticing how much , cleaned tank and fuel filter all ok now ,,,
Comes to.issue now the drain is blocked with i bet rust on the 90bend in the tank , the garage tried but was concerned if they damaged it they would be responsible for tank ,
Does any one know the best way to free the rust blockage ,, they have tried with compressed air and flexible wire .
Thanks In advance ...

I stripped off the plastic from a curtain net wire. The wire itself is wound like a spring and is very strong and flexible. This was on another bike. You will have to see if it fits on these tanks.

Cheers will have a go when I get the bike back
