Title: IBC TANK(had paint stripper in it)
Post by: Nameless Drudge on January 23, 2011, 04:33:17 pm

There are 3 ibc tanks,1000 litre,ending on ebay in 4 hrs appx.,were holding paint stripper and the remains are still in the bottom. They are close enough to me to possibly be worth buying so the information i am looking for is,would i be able to swill this out with water ?.I have e-mailed the seller without response so far. Thought it was worth running this past the forum in case anyone has cleaned an ibc that has held paint stripper.I`ve no way of knowing if its water soluble,so answering my own question i had better give them a miss unless of course i am told different,any info welcomed.

ive just cleaned my ibc out and it was used for water but the lid was left off for quite some time and there where leaves and muck in there and i washed it all out with the pressure washer then rinsed it with the hose and it took ages to get all the bits of leafs and grit out so i would imagine something like paint stripper that you cant see would be a real pain to clean even trying to get it al out would be hard i still never got al the water out of mine
