As I discovered >:( That said, I did use 13 litres of Lidl cola, rather than The Real Thing (sic).....
So what we need is a scientific test of the leading colas on the market, to determine which (if any) works best...

I tried Tesco own brand. And diet, not with sugar.
But it didn't work so...

Hi All
Yes to Soda Bic for Ash's Mum's remedy for burns. Good old fshioned remedy but not allowed as a treatment now due to Health and Safety and COSHH regs.It works by taking the heat out of the burns. Don't know if it would work on a rusty tank but Caustic Soda works well on my old sink pipes, so should work well on the inside of a tank. (just make sure you wear a mask and gloves as very caustic and fumes get right in your lungs) :-\

Sounds like she was correct in her prompt actions then. Sadly passed away when I was 17 to bigC :'( . Never wanted me to have a bike said they were death traps but thought scooters were OK. ::) I am not sure about caustic soda for tank though Julie, I think you need something acidic or electrlytic. Heard of people using molasses too though.
Cheers .. Ash ... Welcome back BTW we need more gals on here!
