10% for 10 minutes is what we used in the biosafety business.  There may be=
 other products such as quaternary solutions that might also work at lower =
rates.

10% of a biocidal bleach could be 15 jugs - could get expensive.  There

Aren't their products that prevent biosludge in Diesel fuel? We used to get=
 a jug of something to pour in the 1400 gallon generator tank to keep it fr=
om growing...Would that work to eliminate the problem?

I found this link to a video that may be a sales pitch, but illustrates one=
 such product to clean the tank.

Fire is an interesting solution, and will certainly inactivate most biologi=
cals, but can be difficult to tame.

What about bleach?

rote:
Hey gang, it's been quite here lately.

I have a 275 gal oil tank that I use for diesel fuel for my tractors.

It got the bio-sludge in it.  I have removed all the oil (there was only a =
little left in it.)

What is the best way to clean this?  Should I light a fire it in?  Water?  =
simple green?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Moose
