I guess I've started my own little sideline business here locally. Last year I somehow started removing fuel oil tanks from peoples houses who had switched over to some other type of heating. I removed 6 or 7 tanks last year and got 500 or 600 gallons of free fuel oil out of the deals along with getting paid for removing the tanks in most cases. So far this spring I removed 2 more and got about 350 additional gallons.
I’m ending up with a lot of used tanks and have had some interest in the ones that are still in good shape but need to clean all the sludge out of them first. Some are really full of it. If I could clean them I might be able to sell a few of them. I tried hot pressure washing them but it was a really nasty job and created a terrible mess all over the ground, no matter how I tried to contain it. It might be fine for a final rinse but somehow Id like to get the majority of the sludge out first. I thought about warming them up with a salamander or something to get the crud to flow more easily. Any other bright ideas out there?
Thanks
Tim
