Cleaning the Diesel Fuel Tank

Cleaning the Diesel Fuel Tank
Make note of how many gallons the diesel fuel tank holds and gather an equal amount of diesel tank cleaning solution. Make sure that this solution is ultra-low sulfur, or ULSD compliant, to protect the integrity of the tank. Fill the tank with this solution and allow it to sit in the tank for 20 to 30 minutes so that it is able to really break apart the sludge and debris that are in the tank. After this time, simply drain the cleaner from the tank in the same manner as the diesel fuel. Make sure to properly dispose of this cleaning solution because it can be hazardous to people, animals, and the environment. There are usually approved containers and special facilities where people can drop this off for safe disposal.
