He beat me to it! ^^^^^^^

Also very good, especially for expansion tanks, are extra strength denture cleaning tablets. I bought a tub (with a lid) bigger than the expansion tank, put half a dozen super-strength Steradent in, topped it all up with hot water and put the lid on. Gave it a shake to mix it then left it a while. gave it another shake to help the dirt start loosening then left it overnight.
Another shake first thing in the morning then in the afternoon (when my hot water comes on) another shake before rinsing it out and drying it.

Either way, the dishwasher is a very good tool for cleaning expansion tanks, washer bottle reservoirs, wheels, anything in fact that will fit and not be damaged by high pressure water being sprayed into it!
