When I took the inspection hatch off the expected crud in the bottom which can be removed but the sides of the tank are covered in a slime. With the tanks open this seemed a good time to do a PROPER JOB!!</description><pubDate>Tue, 03 Feb 2015 12:13:37 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>jgbailey</dc:creator></item><item><title>Cleaning SS Fuel tanks</title><link>https://occforum.azurewebsites.net/FindPost1795.aspx</link><description>I too would be interested in tips on this. Last time we did it we pumped all the diesel out and then sucked out the dregs with a vacuum cleaner poked through the inspection hatch. It seemed to work but think this might have ben an unconventional approach.</description><pubDate>Mon, 02 Feb 2015 21:24:39 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>simoncurrin</dc:creator></item><item><title>Cleaning SS Fuel tanks</title><link>https://occforum.azurewebsites.net/FindPost1794.aspx</link><description>Has anybody had experience of how to best clean out SS fuel tanks?</description><pubDate>Mon, 02 Feb 2015 17:46:35 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>jgbailey</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
