I would just spend the 40$ on a new sprayer.. I know it sounds crazy but I wouldnt take NO chances with my pumpkins. I would let the corn die first..

I just called monsanto and the lady told me to just triple wash with clean water and that would do it..

Keith,

A 10% solution of house hold ammonia OR bleach will work better than straight water.

The key word in Tremor's post is: OR

Don't every mix ammonia and bleach

usually round-up rinses out of sprayers pretty easy and triple rinsing works pretty good, just make sure rinse out the hoses and nozzles too.

blkcloud, TSC sells a spray tank cleaner called Nurta-sol that works pretty good otherwise 1 qt of ammonia to 25 gallons of water and let set for a couple of hours then triple rinse.

Its the 2-4D thats hard to get out of the sprayers
