Masamune Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Fortunately the tank was dry and in storage when it happened so no losses. However, I'd like to try and clean the gun cleaning solvent out of the tank and still use it if at all possible. My LFS suggested using a really, really light detergent (like an eco friendly biodegradable hippy detergent) to try and clean it, then thoroughly scrub and rinse the tank with clean water to try and get rid of the detergent.Just in case I went out and picked up a new 40b from petco. Thankfully there was a dollar-per-gallon sale going, ending today, and they had 2 left! Still, I'd rather not have an empty 40b sitting around. My DIY stand is made with a 20L sump in mind so I can't re-use it for that purpose. Does anyone have any recommendations as to how I can clean the gun-oil out of the tank? Maybe I can sell/trade it to someone with hampsters or snakes or something where using detergent to clean out the CLP won't kill everything inside... Link to comment
TristanC Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I keep and clean my firearms in the same room as my tank and I have always been worried about this happening. At least the tank was empty, sorry I'm not of much help. Link to comment
