anybody find a good way to clean it out, without draining it?

Yeah, I can see that it's not cheap, but I dont think theres really any way to clean the stuff without pouring it through a filter - you could try to skim stuff off of it after it sets as well...

What are you trying to get out of it? Just the little grit and what not? I guess I'm asking because there could be other stuff in it as well - oil etc.

Dont have any idea how much crystal kleen charges, but thats who changes our stuff out at the shop back home...

see if you can get some stoddard solvent as waste from a dry cleaner. its what almost all parts washers use and its alot less expensive then kerosine.
if you can't find a source that way you can BUY stoddard solvent as "Enamal reducer" at any place that sells paint supplies, its about $2 a gallon

I've looked everywhere online, and can't find a good side to side rating for different cleaners

if you just looking to get the big crap out, get a fine screen and skim it across the bottem.
