Dried Sludge in Wiper Fluid Tank?

[MPDano]

Before I re-install the Wiper Fluid Tank in the Euro, it has dried up gunk inside it. What would be a good cleaner to break it down before rinsing out with water?

Merlin always recommends some small gravel like fish tank gravel and some simple green. Slosh it around in there but be careful with your level sensor. May be able to use a long handle bottle brush if you can find one.

Great advice. I guess I need to raid my Fish Tank and steal some of their gravel. Will post pics of before and after for you all.

you can use slightly bigger pebbles than fish tank stones,
remove the sender so it wont get damaged,

hot water and an 1 OZ of simple green and a good sloshing should remove the gunk,

remove the metal collars from the fill tube and the tank inlet they are not needed,

dont over tighten the clamps
