How much bleach would I need for that size tank?  What water mixture ratio 
do you think would work?

Fire is an interesting solution, and will certainly inactivate most 
biologicals, but can be difficult to tame.  

What about bleach?

Hey gang, it's been quite here lately. 

I have a 275 gal oil tank that I use for diesel fuel for my tractors. 

It got the bio-sludge in it.  I have removed all the oil (there was only a 
little left in it.) 

What is the best way to clean this?  Should I light a fire it in?  Water? 
 simple green? 

Any ideas? 

Thanks.
