I've done Hugh's method a few times with good results. I concur on the dubiousness of the life of the liner products - I've heard folks talk about the liner material breaking up after a while and doing the same clogging you're trying to get away from.
One method I've heard of and want to try the next time it's needed is, if you have a spare small (re: lawn tractor) fuel tank and some fuel line hose, hook that up so you can get the tractor running, jack and block (safety first, make sure its strong) the rear end and then strap the gravel-filled tank to one of the rear wheels. Again, make sure the blocks and chocks are all strong and there's no way that rear end will come down and put the tractor in first to revolve the tank. I wouldn't leave it too long between checks. I just remember the last time I did the gravel revolving in the tank by hand I regarded it as a workout.
Anyone else tried this? Let us know if you go this route how it works out.
