I'm going to remove the bottle for inspection with an endoscope and would like
to know what (and if I should) to use to clean the inside and what to add to it
on reinstalling. I know glycol (50% glycerine, 50% alcohol?) was used originally,
though last time I sent one out for someone else to do the inspection, it
had a different fluid in it.
How much fluid should I add? This is on a fixed gear/no flap application.

As glycerine and alcohol can get washed off by water condensation in air I did
not see any benefit of using that combo. My approach was clear chain lube , the
sticky kind with solvent. Add a decent cup of this for tumbling it around in
the tank and let dry for a time. An air hose will help dry the solvent. You can
do two or three sessions for good coating and sniff for remains of solvent
till you are satisfied with evaporation . After 16 years of running the 18 T no
corrosion found at checks.
