•Flush the tank repeatedly with high-flash-point solvent un- til it is clean. It may be necessary to put a few marbles or pieces of clean gravel into the tank and shake it, to knock loose any foreign matter in the bottom.

WARNING

Clean the tank in a well-ventilated area, and take ample care that there are no sparks or flame any- where near the working area; this includes any ap- pliance with a pilot light. Do not use gasoline or a low-flash point solvent to clean the tank. A fire or explosion could result.
