Not wanting to p1ss on Mikeys firework but it's a shame to get rid of the bumps and grazes, it's all part of the patina/history..... I can only take so much shiney shiney........
(Sorry Mikey)
Give me broken fins, battle scars and rust.... In rust we trust...

Ok, so the fuel has been drained out the tank, 6 bottles of cola & 3 bottles of Harpic poured into the tank - it's now bubbling like a good'un
Cooking time = 1 week
Took Keith's advice and put the tank outside in the garden and not on the kitchen sink
Perhaps I should have took some pics to show how bad it was before the ingredients were added and then when it has finished cooking
