Good scotch?  Something at least 18 years old will definitely get the bad
taste out of your mouth.

As for the Westy tank.  Did you try a little bleach?  Fill the tank, run it
through the faucet for a few minutes.  Then thoroughly flush the tank and
faucet with water.  It also helps to let the tank sit full overnight during
the flushing process.

Cheers,

Jeff

Vanners,

I put a Westy interior in my 87. The water tastes pretty bad. I tried a half
cup of baking soda, filling it up and letting it sit for a couple of days.
After rinsing out still pretty bad.

Any ideas for cleaning out the bad taste?

Mike
