I've been given the perfect shape expansion tank for the bulkhead but it has a load of brown cack up the inside of it.
Any bright ideas or tips on cleaning it out ?? im sure i saw something a couple of years back on here that worked really well but cant remember what
was used ?
dish washer.....
Small stones and sand worked well for ours. Fill the expansion tank and give it a damn good shake. Just make sure it's cleaned out well before
fitting it and filling up with coolant.

Soak in vinegar and hot water for a few hours..
Then dishwasher it a few times.... good as new!
plug chain, with loads of bleach and fairy liquid
put some sand and pebbles in it half fill with water and shake, then wash out well also put some plastic under filler cap when screwed on to stop getting sand in it. Clean out well ( workes a treat)

otherwise indistructable plastics pint glasses.
