EXTERIOR CLEANING.
Dirt on the tank and tank accessories should be
flushed off with water.

INTERIOR CLEANING.
The interior of the tank requires little cleaning if
it is used for the same commodity.
If cleaning is required, fill the tank
with approximately 150 gallons of a mild detergent/water solution.
Close
off all openings and slosh the detergent solution back and forth by alter-
nately pulling the ends of the tank over the top of the tank. Drain the
solution from the tank and flush with clean water.
Repeat flushing as
necessary.
Dry the inside of the tank with a large volume air blower if
the tank is to be placed in dry storage.

The tank will be inspected weekly to ensure that the equip-
ment is ready for operation at all times.
Through regular inspection,
defects can be found and corrected before serious damage occurs. Defects
found during operation should be noted and corrected as soon as servicing
operations have stopped.
