i got most of it out there all right i'm gonna leave this overnight let it all evaporate now you can see all the crap that's in there that's just uh

one side is more to the right hand side here too but so we're gonna have to vacuum that out so i put a little hose in my vacuum cleaner taped it up it makes a good suction here

now don't suck gas in your vacuum because it could uh it could catch fire so why i said yes make sure you leave this overnight let it dry out check it make sure
