Never done this before, but personally, id pour some panel wipe or similar liquid that cuts through oil into the tank, swill it about and drain, and leave the drain plug open for 48 hours to let the vapour escape On 26th Jan, 2012 Tom Fenton said:

'd say as above but you may need a couple of goes to get it all out, I'd also do a water flush after. On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

water is ok in there as long as it dosent sit, you always get a bit of moisure, thats why you have a water seperator On 28th Aug, 2011 Kean said:

Air has water in it, hence a water drain in the tank, you'd be fine to flush it with water and the leave the tank open to dry.

thanks for the replies!! The only thing about the water flush is im nervous it rots the tank and flakes get into the system!! If in doubt... flat out! The words of a true legend |
