ml> wow... that's a large tank... i'd start by trying 
ml> to get the old dried stuff to get some moisture 
ml> back in it... spraying it with water and allowing 
ml> it to soak before carefully scrapping it off...
ml> 
ml> you might even fill it and leave it for a few days 
ml> and then use normal tan[sic] cleaning methods... 
ml> it sounds like you have a job on your hands...

 SB> Sounds like a plan.. :) Thanks. It's at my parents house right now,
 SB> my Mom put wrapping paper around it so you can't see how messy it
 SB> looks. :) I'll have to  go over and fill it this weekend. Hopefully
 SB> it won't go tru their ceiling!  They have a pretty old house. I'm
 SB> not sure how much it wieghs when it's full,  only that it's too
 SB> heavy to move.

figure it this way, a gallon of water is like 7 pounds or so... i'd not be 
leaving it "up in the attic" or above the ceiling or where ever it is... i'd be 
getting it down and out and then starting to work on it...
