Credit where it'* due Lash.. Bobster cleaned his tank up and then kept on me about how mine looked like a septic system. It was brutal...

Take your two cans of brake clean.. spray a good bit into the tank with a rag. Morty only used 1/2 can..cause I didn't have much on hand.

I think I am near there too, maybe a tad lower. Due to lack of experience.
