 clean it with hypochlorite first then a good rinse out after and it will be like new

My secondhand 1000ltr IBC tank had contained a softner for plastics.

I gave lots of fills with fairy and water but it would not get rid of the grease on the inside.

I found that my submersible pump was bigger then the hole in the middle so i cut another hole in the top, I will post a pic later today.

I bought some Chic degreaser, put that in with boiling hot water and I could now reach every bit of plastic inside,so I donned my marigold gloves and gave a right good scrubbing.

Used lots of clean water to rinse and their was no more grease.

Hope it helps Neil.
