BOB DINGSDALE Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 fastest way would be to take it off and wash it out with solvent or someother good cleaner.then check compressor for pumping oil.

phildirt Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Depending on the age, strong solvent can be a bad idea in an air tank- some older ones were lined with a plastic coating.Use a degreaser (citrus based) followed by detergent (spic and span or industrial purple by zep), lots of agitation and rinsing (don't use IP if it is an aluminum tank).
