Title: Cleaning out An IBC tank
Post by: cat9921 on July 18, 2008, 12:19:45 pm

As you all know when it comes to spending money I am as tight as they come  ;D

Just brought a second hand Ibc tank that had food colour in it ( Potassium hydroxide   ::)  )

I have cleaned it out and filled it with pure water to wash it out but there is still grease in it  >:(

So whats the best way of cleaning this out

Thanks

or a steam cleaner works well, they usually come with an extended shaft too.
