Great writeup!!

I had to do this recently on an old, rusty Renix XJ tank...uncooked rice works great too (if you dont have any marbles around)!

EDIT:

Just realized...make sure whatever cleaning stuff you use in addition to the bleach is NOT ammonia based! The resulting chlorine gas can burn your lungs or even kill you!! Just a heads up!

I did this today for it was time to clean out and freshen up my overflow bottle after my recent TB/WP job done on the car.

I looked high and low and there were no marbles in the house. Instead I used some fancy dice I had bought in Reno during one of my bowling trips there. I stood in the street and shook wildly to get the inside super clean.
