Promotional bias?[edit]

This article seems to contain a lot of promotion for the Butterworth company. Besides the claim of invention, they appear to be irrelevant to the topic.12.116.62.222 (talk) 15:40, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The above comment is ten years old. Since then more content has been added, but there remains a bias, this time in favour of Gamajet (eg. all the images are of this one product line). There are at least a dozen notable suppliers of automated tank cleaning equipment; it seems unjustified to dedicate this article to only one or two of them. Views?
