Yep - throw a couple of handfuls of 6mm or 8mm nuts in there along with a couple of litres of rust converter and shake the bejeezus out of it :thumbsup:
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Fingers used some sort of coating inside he's tank, sort of like a plasticy fibreglassy coating. Looked like it'd do the trick quite nice
