Paul,
Not sure where you are but if there is a small airport near you the
Fixed Base Operator probably has a maintenaince shop. They may have an
idea of how to get old sloshing compund out of there.
Ed, Robert, Frank??
When I worked on planes we had to pick and scrape. Unless you have a
Bugeye, a new or good old tank may be the way to go. The new tanks do
not have the one piece neck (if you're concerned w/ originality). I
hate to see you go to a new tank if the compound can be cleaned out.
What happened to the screen?
