RE: Black stuff in overflow tank

["Smith, Mike" <msm@team.co.uk>]

Ok people, a good way to clean header tanks:

Note!!! this only works on the simple ones, not the A3 golf type with the
complicated mouldings inside.

Block up the inlets and outlets, leaving the main filler hole open. Half
fill it with evil chemicals of your choice - I use cellulose thinners - then
put a handful of sharp sand (building sand) in it too. Screw the lid on,
then shake the crap out of it! The thinners dissolves the crud, and the sand
blasts it off. Works too....but you may have to do it a couple of times for
really bad ones.

Just make sure you rinse it out properly :-)
