Trying to clean my scummy coolant bottle, came up with a good idea that has made it come up like new (well . . not quite, but its damn clean).
Filled the bottle 1/4 full of hot soapy water, and threw in a hand full of coarse gravel off my drive, lid on and shook like mad.
Removed all the orange crust and scum from inside the bottle.
Took a little bit of work but well worth it. |

old trick mate but a good one. I find the best thing is the old tootbrush.
Soap powder is very good
To clean the top I take my lovingly manicured (not) middle finger and put it through the hole and swing it abotu to clean the top of the tank. |
