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 :shock:

Cooking time = 1 week

Took Keith's advice and put the tank outside in the garden and not on the kitchen sink :D

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 :roll:
