Oil filter solved any sludge issues for us.  Just replace the oil filter from time to time.

i had the same thing...i think i posted the DIY on that here a long time ago.

It worked OK, but after about a year and a half, I scooped at least 3 gallons of sludge out of the bottom.  i often thought some sort of a recirculating system in there would help stir things up a bit.
