Thanks for that - I've followed up the Eastwood suggestion and it appears to be POR 15 products which I can get in the UK from other stockists. As my tank doesn't leak I will not be sealing it, but I will be getting some of the POR 15 cleaner degreaser (the samestuff that comes with the tank kit) for other jobs on the 403 and will try some in the tank. I've already managed to get most of the loose stuff out by shaking the tank in different orientations.
Thanks also to Calibrator for his suggestion of cutting the tank but I am hoping to avoid such drastic measures!!
