Well had a quick go today with pebbles and was amazed the car ever ran at all!





Enough crap came out to do a base jump from!!

bloomin 'ec that is a big pile of crud. what did you put in to get that much out?
you will have serious biceps by the time you have shaken all the grot out of that.

No no leaks anywhere! very good condition so i'm a bit confused as to why there is so much crap? but thinking about it it came from a very dry state, possibly sandy?

Crikey!

Speechless!

Has somebody been crushing bricks in there?

I tell you what - it's a good job you have taken the trouble to have a go at cleaning the tank eh? You're right, I wonder it ran at all!

Yes, I think you're going to have to have a few more goes before it's all out, I guess you know what I mean when I said it was hard work, but the method does work eh? Keep going until no more comes out then a good vacuum out and you'll be right as rain I reckon.

Keep up the good work and keep us posted as to how you're getting on with that car - it's fabulous!

Cheers
