Hey Dan give me a call now bud im at the garage now:)

There you go buddy. Lee is very very busy, sometimes it is not possible for him to answer the telephone, as he runs his garage on his own.

thanks for that mate

I would fill it slowly with water and leave to stand, this should in turn drive any remaining fumes out.

It will also help remove any remaining detergent.
