[QUOTE="Cyborg, post: 135569, member: 3426"] If it were me, once started, I wouldn’t stop until I was sure it was clean. I’m not anti inspection hole, but just did a tank without one. The cleaning took several different steps starting with a mix of solvent and diesel pumped into the tank. Rinsed out and completely filled with a semi weak solution of muriatic acid and allowed to sit for several days. Rinsed again and then shaking with roofing nails inside ( short drywall screws are better) . Rinsed out again neutralized ... quick rinse with phosphoric acid to prevent rust. Checked progress with a bore scope. Within the slurry that came out were the bits shown in the photo. The tank is now clean. Safe to say the inspection hole would be easier. It should definitely be mounted towards the rear to give proper access to the settling pond. [ATTACH type="full"]40743[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
