Water Tank cleanout

This weekend the big clearout inside continued; we found troubles with the gas oven not staying lit, the houdini hatches got their rubber seals put back in place and sealant applied around the frames, the dishwasher(!) was taken out and last but not least the water tank got a big clean out and some rust treatment with Vactan

Here’s a few piccies:

    1. The First Mate (aka Sarah) sent this one a while back showing the pump in action. She also says your memory isn’t what it maybe once was!
