get 750ml of clean water... add lots of sand to hit.. (1 small cup) pour into the bottle.. and shake violently for 15 mins..

bleach, that may work, ummm some rocks. but i dont no if bleach would kill the bottle and contaminate (didnt spell it right i think) the coolant so its f**k your engine.

best thing to use is 1 or 2 cup of rice and water and then shake like f**k. if its really bad try a ouple of times.

I bought a brand new one, it started going browny after a month, then I crashe my car and cracked it and broke the mounting points. Good way to blow $115.
I think painting them is the way to go, especialy since they have a low coolant sensor. |

thats strange how urs started goin brown???? the whole time i had mine. Stayed the same nice clear colour. I think they look a bit weird painted but if i painted mine i think id do it black.

Personally I wouldn't paint as you can't quickly glance at the level.
I've used rice once, and gravel once - both did a good job, but you need to be gentle with the gravel! |

yeah i was told by a mechanic that bleach is the way but it looks like you should kill 2 birds with one stone, Bleach your rice while cleaning your overflow bottle with them both.
