Gerrit,

I have found that warm white vinegar works well at eating up deposits on
regulators, especially when used in an ultrasonic cleaner (try a jewelry store
for a cheap one).  I would NOT however, dissassemble your regulator, or try to
soak the inside without dissassembly, and that means that if you're taking it
apart, youhad better know how to put it together WITH THE CORRECT METHODS, and
know how to adjust it when it is back together.  I've worked on many regulators
that people have screwed up with "home repair" jobs, and it would have been
much easier if they just would have brought it in first.
