@Shippers , 10% hydrochloric acid will clear this [readily available on eBay] But do be careful with HCL, on skin and in eyes and especially the fumes...so wear correct PPE. Pour in 5ltrs and leave to work, seal all outlets and give the tank a swirl/leave upside down and swirl some more. Once gunge free, empty and rinse with warm water. When rinsing be very careful with the fumes and waste gunge...both will eat skin.

Think ill pickup some acidico at builders merchant tomorrow...we use it here for cleaning showerheads but can buy 5l for brick cleaning...thanks...

brick acid is usually pretty much muriatic acid I think.

I've been buying 36% hydrochloric acid from ebay. Absolutely ridiculous and probably should be laws against it. Delivery driver will not know what they are carrying.

So diesel,petrol and acid didnt work but cellulose thinners disolves it quickly,so have left it soaking in a few litres of the stuff will empty in a few days and see what comes out...
