Hello all,
Looking for advice. I have picked up a 250 gallon propane tank, valves are out and looking to start working on it. Problem is I live in a residential area and have neighboring homes on all 4 sides. im looking to fill the tank w water and detergent but am concerned that I’m going to have to haul this liquid mess out of my yard 5 gallons at a time as to not stink up the hood.
thought about filling it 80% now and let it freeze this winter and cut into it frozen and haul off the ice..
questions ... if I put in the water and detergent and let it set for 5 months will this help with the smell?
if I open the valves up will it smell this bad in say 6 months? How long to evaporate out of the tank on its own?
Reading online and suggested mixing and bleach but also creates hydrochloric acid. I really don’t want that in my yard either.
I can’t dump 250 gallons of this in my yard , neighbors will go nuts.
thoughts?
this is my second propane tank build but the first one dident stink this bad as the valves were out a long time.
thanks in advance, Jim
