Cleaning inside overflow tank

Anybody have a good way to clean in there? Mine was all scummy looking inside. I took an old toothbrush and took the little plug off the top. I was able to get most of the junk. Then I cut the brush and glued it back at an angle so I could get the rest. ****, I know, see my thread in the general discussion about that

I used a lot of water pressure through the top and used the hose as a drain on the ground. Worked ok. Any other ideas?

Campfire, large metal bucket or small 25 gallon drum, 12 pack of beer. Start the fire real hot, fill the bucket with water, boil the tank, and drink a beer. Repeat until either the tank is clean or you're so drunk you no longer care.
