Hi

Thanks again for all the info  :) but another quick question....can you use a second hand ibc? i have priced up new ones and they seem expensive.The second hand ones im looking at have been rinsed out but used to have veg oil in them ,so i would imaginethere would be a oily scum floating on the surface of the water etc.Just has anyone experience of second hand ibc?

bought mine second hand which had been cleanef properly. worked out fine. mate of mine bought one with food produce had been used(veg oil)i think. it had an oily scum on top,we tried everything and gave up eventually and got another one. make sure it has been cleaned thoroughly and not just washed out.

Don`t let used IBC tanks put you off,i use one that use to have PVA glue in it,so i spent a good couple of hours jet washing it out then gave it a rinse with pure water and it`s like new  ;)
