Smoking Fanatic
Ethanethiol (stinky stuff) is a flammable liquid that evaporates at 68* F and is heaver than air. LP is also heaver than air. When I was ready to start my tank I rolled it up side down placing it on riser. I then inserted a air hose from a compressor into the drop tube of the tank. LP tanks have a tube under one of the plugs that goes to the bottom for removing the liquid gas. Because the tank is now up side down and all plugs removed the air is pushing heaver fumes out the openings of the tank. I did this in a VERY well ventilated area. the fumes are not good to breath. I do not recommend anyone try this. Its what I did and lived to tell about it. You might not.I had same problem except someone turned me into the DEQ and next thing you know I had state police, fire department and DEQ down my neck. What a smell. I used detergents from the dollar store to do a preleminary clean and sucked out waste with shop vac. One drop and you smell for days. I put this waste in garbage bags and disposed of....DEQ said it was ok but made me move tanks to a field to "air out". I now have them down at the sand blaster to get the insides blasted out. Be careful cutting into tanks....oil is very flamable my third tank exploded into flames and scared the crap out of me...note not from gas just the oil fumes. Good luck
