f4rrs 0 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Yes mate it was off the car.Ive tried the brush but just can't round all of the tank.A pal of mine has suggested caustic soda but that seems a bit too strong..... Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 nah caustic soda was what I used on mine mate but you obviously don't need very much at all Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 can't remember off the top of my head but not very much at all mate, did it outside and added enough until it was foaming everywhere !!! then flushed it out well with the hose - came out very clean Link to post Share on other sites
