On this tm I just bought, it's got a heavy coating of bleh on the walls from neglect. My pressure washer didn't take much off either. It needs to soak. Anyone have a secret formula they're willing to share to help me on this?

4" blade?
I go over the inside and outside of my strainer basket every so often for the gunk that doesn't rinse off. Wouldn't want to do a whole tank.
Curious to hear what others suggest.

your pressure washer won't shear it with 15 degree tip from 3-4 inches away?

....get a bigger pressure washer..

Fill with hot water and soak with some fabric softener.

Maybe some ptespray too.

The vacuum will be outstanding if you get that cleaned off

Put it on straight or dump the whole bottle with the tank filled with water overnight?
I would babysit it. The stuff is insane strong...
I’d fill 1/2- 3/4, then add a bottle or 2...
I wouldn’t leave it overnight.

I’ve used it to unclog drains many times,residentially, and it works fast..

it’s formulated to work in about 15-30 minutes.

wear PPE...

the last time I used hot water, it worked in 3-5 minutes.

The fumes almost killed me..

I had a hole in the bottom of my last waste tank so I repaired it and used a steel brush on a drill to scrape the rest to bare metal. Then dried overnight with heat lamps. Then coated it with 2 layers of Flex Seal.

When I got my new machine the very first thing I did was coat the bottom with Flex Seal up 5 inches. Stuff just rinses right off.
