Title: I.B.C. TANK CLEANER.
Post by: geefree on November 21, 2008, 05:04:14 pm: Hi,

just got a 640 litre ibc tank, refurbished and cleaned out... But it smells a bit chemically, if you know what i mean.

Does anyone know the best solution i can put in...to give it a few rinses before i test pure water in it.?

Thanks.

Gary

another thing that bothers me is the weight... although i am under weight with this tank full... a few months ago i was told on here that the weight has to be evenly distributed over both axles.....

how on earth do you do that??

stretch the tank ;D ;D ;D ???

As for cleaning it out, mine was cleaned out with meth's and then soapy water then rinse out, It still smells a bit but the tds reading is fine doesnt seem to effect the reading at all.
