Not much good at weekend, have got a good agri fitter I know will probably ring him tomorrow, I quizzed him a couple of weeks ago about something, if he knows what it is will have to buy him a few beers.

Aye … do I have to pay for you to divulge 😂 I have an older 6400 that’s getting sluggish and blocking filters quick.

I just remembered, i got a company who clean out Boat engines gunk.

  I’m sure they got in under the seat and could flush it out and suck all the crap out.

Tanks full of shit. No better way than dropping it out. Drain it through a filter into a drum and then hot steam pressure wash the bugger out! Drain it and make sure dry as poss then Diesel swill then refit

On a Valtra it's the middle section of the chassis so you don't just drop it out.

Did think today must be away to flush and suck tank clean. 

Brother has got an endoscopy which connects to phone so will borrow it to look in tank to see how bad it is.

If you know of a local marina( I used to live on the coast) they’ll have a guy and van.  Yachts are bad for it.
