XXXX,
I reuse polyethelene 2.5 gallon
theatrical fog fluid tanks for water storage. The fog fluid is a glycol, and
the tank will smell for awhile. I first rinse the tanks to get all the gross
product residues out. I then begin a leaching process by filling the tank with
very hot water and let it sit until cool. I then repeat the process multiple
times, until there is no smell. I do two more leachings after that. Another
point that I thought was missed is biofilms. These, like slimes, adhere to the
walls and are almost impossible to get rid of. E. coli is one of these film
producers, and it’s on your teeth. This is why I hate trying to reuse milk
jugs. You can never get these biofilms out of them completely. I like peach
tea, and within a couple of days, you will notice stains on the walls of the
reused milk jug from incomplete removal of the biofilm. Only use jugs that came
from the factory with water in them. I can use a water jug for months before
any films begin to form. – Capt Nemo
