I've been using this method for a few years now and it's absolutely perfect! Thanks for making it a video to show everyone! Good job!

[@paulryan7078]

Tried a few things like you but found carb cleaner works pretty well

[@cyclone411]

Filled mine with gasoline and gave a it a good long shake. That got every bit of rusty and greasy residue.

Good job,, i just bought a new one for 2008 super duty.

Great video. I have been unable to clean the inside of the tank on my Kawasaki to my satisfaction and will give this a go. One observation I made: The green pad you used on the exterior has a tendency to scratch plastic. I suggest trying the blue Scotch-Brite non-scratch sponges (that may be found at the grocer's, alongside dishwashing products). I think the blue pads are made from a recycled plastic material, so they don't tend to scratch softer materials while still being very effective.

I put stainless steel tumbling media and tumble it in a cement mixer

Good result. Putting in some small gravel (aquarium gravel or equivalent) and giving it a good shake can help loosen up the stubborn debris BUT only on single-skin coolant expansion tanks. Some coolant tanks (such as on Peugeot 206 etc) have a double wall and cleaning them and getting the stones out afterwards is somewhat challenging.

Good to know thanks 🙏

Rather than rice use a flat link chain as on sink plugs and swish that around to get the hard to reach area

This inspired me to try oxyclean spray and it worked so fucking good with a toothbrush to scrub it.

[@angelahamilton2217]

You certainly don’t give up but you got there in the end 👏👏👏 think I would have and brought a new one.

I was wondering what his wife thought about him doing this in the sink .

[@rickhilliard2545]

I'd like to know what else gets put down that sink...lol

How has this tank held up? Did the bleach do anything to the structure of the plastic or the seam?

[@dadskillzcars]

Hi, all good at the mo.

[@michaelmaxwell7871]

I would avoid the harsh chemicals, sometimes these will compromise the integrity of the plastic and decrease the life span of the tank leading to cracks and leaks.

[@TheReal1953]

So to US translate.....Dawn, liquid Clorox bleach, boiling water, and rice in some proportion?

[@dadskillzcars]

Right

[@MOE13576]

Hahaha Thanks
