Hi Keith..
That sludge may be water soluable as opposed to oil soluable..Try an intense mix of water and washing soda..That will do both...
Scrape some into a dish and add soda and water and see what happens to the goop..If it softens or disolves it,make up a intense mix for the tank and let 'er soak for a day or two..
Hy pressure wash out the sludge.
