It was a new one, but the guy I bought it from did not crank it for a while and it is really nasty in there. I am going to pull it in a few minutes and try to clean it. Was wondering if you could put some red devil lye in there to disolve the crud. Do any of you have any suggestions??? Thanks Guys Steve Steve

The company that I used is Mobile Services in Carol Stream Il 630 784 0475. They guarantee their process for life! The $250.00 was worth it! paul orednick 305 canal st lemont Il 60439
