An unpleasant smell and a persistent dark brown mark that leaves the clothes only after 5-6 washes - this is what a diesel stain looks like. Car enthusiasts and locksmiths know how difficult it is to deal with such pollution at home. How to wash the solar oil?
Simple Home Remedies
A stain from diesel fuel can be removed by a variety of means. Some of them work quickly and effectively, others will require you to be patient.
Washing powder. This tool is always at hand for any hostess. Add a stain remover to it - and, it would seem, you can handle any pollution. But not in the case of solar. The stain from this technical fluid can be removed with a traditional stain remover. But it is gradually washed off only for the third or even fifth time.
Salt. Sodium chloride copes with many contaminants. To wash the stains of diesel fuel with it, fill the stained place with fine salt, and after an hour load the item into the washing machine.
Dishwashing liquid. Liquid compositions with which you wash cutlery can also cope with diesel fuel. But for this you need to soak the thing in a solution of such a product for 2-3 hours. Then try to wash in the usual way.
Petrol. A stain from one type of fuel can be removed with another type. The main thing is that the gasoline itself is of good cleaning. Wet a cloth in it, rub the contaminated area from the edge of the stain to the middle so that it does not go streaked. After a while, the diesel fuel will go away, and the item can be washed with powder. The smell will not disappear immediately, after washing the thing will have to be hung on the balcony or on the street.
Ammonium chloride. Ammonia is a powerful stain remover available at home. To combat pollution, it is diluted with water in a ratio of 1: 7.
How to wash and remove diesel fuel from the surface of clothes - the best methods
In this solution, you can soak the item overnight, and wash it in the morning.
Liquid compositions with which you wash cutlery can also cope with diesel fuel.
Iron. If you can't dissolve the stain, you can try to melt it. Heat the iron, cover the stain of diesel fuel on both sides with paper and iron the place with an iron. Change the sheets until oil marks no longer appear on them.
Homemade compositions
Sometimes simple means do not help, and whole artillery is used against pollution. At home, two main compositions are used that can act on a stain from diesel fuel.
Soda, laundry soap and dishwashing detergent. Grate the soap, add the same amount of soda and the same amount of dishwashing detergent to it. Dissolve the paste with hot water, mix thoroughly, pour into a basin, and soak the soiled item in it. After a couple of hours, the stain will dissolve and it can be washed off clothes with ordinary powder.
Lemon juice and sunflower oil. Mix 50 ml of fresh lemon juice with 20 ml of sunflower oil. Apply the composition to a cotton pad and wipe the stain, cleaning it from the edges to the center. Continue until the contamination is gone.
Odor removal
When the visible part of the stain from the diesel fuel disappears from the surface of the clothes, a specific smell will haunt you for some time. To get rid of it, soak the item in kerosene, acetone or high-purity gasoline, and then wash and air it. The obvious disadvantage of this method is that while the thing is soaking, the room will smell of all the technical liquids.
If you are not a fan of aggressive methods, use mint toothpaste. She will need to rub the contaminated area, and then leave the item in the dishwashing detergent solution for several hours. Another way is to wash the clothes with powder and conditioner.
If you have time, just leave the thing on the balcony for a few days. During this time, the smell of diesel fuel itself will completely disappear.
It is far from always possible to remove diesel fuel stains at home using simple means. After all, they often resort to washing when the stain is already old and has eaten into the fabric, or other pollutants have been added to it. And then simple methods no longer work. How then to remove the stain from diesel fuel from clothes? You can use industrial stain removers, such as motorist hand cleaning paste. It is thickly applied to the stain and simply sent to the washing machine drum.
Whichever method you choose, when treating stains, you need to follow the general rules. Clean stains always from the periphery to the center - this method does not leave streaks. Always treat the fabric from the inside out, but rather test the product on an inconspicuous area to see if the fabric sheds from it. After treating the stain, clothes should not be soaked by hand - immediately wash them in the machine.
In the lives of some people, diesel fuel spots are an unpleasant surprise. And in this case, you can get rid of them with the help of home remedies. For others, such incidents are a regularity, and then it is worth buying a special stain remover like hand cleaning paste. Be that as it may, it is quite possible to deal with stains from diesel fuel. You just need to find and clean them in time.

2. I rinsed with a couple of liters of gasoline (then I poured the gasoline with oil into a canister, it was useful to kindle garbage)
3. Overturned and let the remnants drain. (It so happened that she stood with me for a week, while she came to the garden on weekends).
3. I installed it normally and from the hose, having previously splashed "Italmas", rinsed it, gurgled along the walls. drained, rinsed with clean water and turned over again.
4. When I was already drawing water into the barrel, at first a weak film was still visible on top, so I took water so that it drained over the edge. And over time, the film was gone.

View Full Version : How to properly expel vapors from a used tank?
The bottom line is, we have a tank, we need to digest the neck, how to get rid of gasoline vapors so that it doesn’t bang? I know that it is necessary to drive with exhaust gases, but how much to drive them there, I let the gas into the tank for 20 minutes, but then did not dare to cook again.
Do not offer to pour water, with 55 liters of water, the tank jumps half a meter when ignited, checked :)
25.07.2011, 22:28
25.07.2011, 23:16
Be careful.
I DO NOT BELIEVE about the evaporation of exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases are not evaporated, but filled. But I believe, I don’t believe, leave minors for girls, let them guess. And here the question is technical and before you say something, you need to know the topic thoroughly.
I think first rinse with acetone or alcohol. Gasoline dissolves well in alcohol and acetone. And then rinse well with water. Because alcohol and acetone are unlimitedly soluble in water.

Steam from the word "steam" that's what they need to do. The most reliable and secure method. Ideally, of course, from a steam pipeline, but you can also try a household steam generator.
is there any carbon dioxide? you just need to wash it anyway ... a friend of mine cooked like that ...
There is carbon dioxide, what to do with it? run into the tank?
Exhaust for 10 minutes - and cook whatever you want, just don't remove the exhaust, let it blow. So, without removing the tanks from the car, I cooked gas with gasoline.
I'll probably try that.
Thanks for the advice, here's what I dug up:
When welding a container from the outside, it is quite effective to fill the containers with exhaust gases from carburetor engines, in which there is not enough oxygen for combustion. It takes 4 minutes to completely expel air from containers up to 300 liters, 350 - 500 liters - 6 minutes, 500 - 700 liters - 9 minutes, and for every 1000 liters - 12 - 15 minutes. During welding, gas is fed into the container to be brewed continuously while the engine is running at low speeds. The removal of gases into the atmosphere is carried out through the gas outlet pipe of the car, the drain hole of the fuel tank, the filler neck, etc.
Well, finally - I came to the truth. :)
Boiling a gas tank is a dangerous business. I usually fill it with water to the maximum and it's scary. I DON'T BELIEVE about the evaporation of exhaust gases, in front of my eyes a man lost his foot and hand when trying to weld a hole in the gas tank. He evaporated it for a long time and washed it with soap and water.
Be careful.
Fuck yourself! Can you be more detailed? Actually, while the current tank has been soldered repeatedly, but the welder himself and you never know what when you have to ... How did you manage and how did you evaporate and cook?
28.07.2011, 18:18
in the ass, buy a LHC and at least get scalded ... ..
Once I decided to brew a Volgovsky tank with autogenous, which had been lying in the garage for 10 years without a cork and with the intake and sensor removed. I decided that there was no gasoline vapor in it anymore. Didn't fill in anything. The tank jerked and became 5 liters more.;)
So, washing it seems to be definitely useless.
they also cooked a 20l canister that was lying around without a lid for 8 years or even more .... In short, she jumped half a meter, and we, along with her: D.
Wow! I brought home an old huge gas tank from a truck, I wanted to make a shower tank out of it. He poured a glass of water into it and put it on the fire. Then some more. splashed once. Nifiga didn’t explode even once, but the stench didn’t evaporate like that, I had to throw it away ...
29.07.2011, 13:21
And if the canister / tank is completely filled with water, will it explode during welding?
it is not the byanzin itself that explodes, but its vapors mixed with air. In strictly limited proportions. On your car in the gas tank, the fuel level sensor is ohmic - the slider walks along a resistive wire, don’t go to the headstock, it sparks ... but the point is not that the spark energy is small - there is too much gasoline vapor in relation to oxygen. In winter, in a good frost, pour gasoline in a jar from under the kilika and throw gobies in there ... it will not burn. Try it now - it will flash in a moment.
fill it with tank gas, completely displace the air (and oxygen!!!) - and nothing will explode ...
Other around it is another matter that the gas tank metal itself is impregnated with benzene. On tankers, about a cubic centimeter per square meter per week seeps through the walls of tanks (if they carry gasoline) ...
29.07.2011, 13:29
The best option has already been said - carbon dioxide. If you cook large holes, you can use the exhaust gases. So that their volume is constantly replenished. On small ones, he "inflated" the tank with carbon dioxide from a cylinder, left a small flow through the gearbox to make up for losses, and at least brew.
Once I saw a shaman cook a tank from Ikarus, so he completely filled it with a solarium, set it on fire and boiled ... Just in case, I screwed it away: rolleyes:
Wise! I can say one thing for sure: if you need to weld a lock to the neck, then filling it with water to the middle of it will solve all problems without any flushing. Everything else, with the exception of welding the neck itself, is done by soldering and trying to cook something there is masturbation in a severe form.
And everything is soldered "at once" with a non-electric copper soldering iron of the "axe" type, heated aside on a burner. Current with zinc chloride. Everything is done elementarily, without removing the tank, even "on the ceiling".
Another fun way to cook any gas container: pour water into it and stick the boiler on a long wire. When the steam rises, you can approach and cook without fear.
in our PAZ about 5-7 years ago, men cooked a tank on a KAMAZ with a completely filled one. The result turned out to be deplorable. the welder died, the kamaz burned out, the rest who were nearby all had severe burns
31.07.2011, 16:37
The question is this: are you going to cook the tank on the car or is it removed? We boiled the removed tank after washing (they poured detergent and poured boiling water under the neck, it just won’t be washed off with water).
31.07.2011, 16:51
It’s better not to risk it, it will gouge out your eyes or something, and if the tank was rotten, then a hole will come out somewhere else at the most inopportune moment.
31.07.2011, 21:17
I read this topic and realized that it is better to save yourself than to cook a tank, understand why. So better take care of your body parts guys.
Hi Everyone, like a report :)
The sequence was as follows: I poured an almost full tank of water (so that I wouldn’t fly far :)) or maybe for complacency, I started the car and from the muffler with a large hose into the tank, walked for 10 minutes, cooked the car without stopping the car so that the gases circulated through the tank, first plugged all the holes then, when the tank was filled with gases, I opened a hole for the outlet under the new place of the neck and welded it, the tank was naturally removed from the car, something like this :)
04.08.2011, 17:38
Chegoy then read the horrors here.
How to clean the booth?
Everything is simple for me, I removed the tank, and blew it with a compressor, probably for about 20 minutes. Then I decided that the air was not circulating well, then a pistol from the compressor went into the filler neck, a vacuum cleaner into the hole from the sensor, and another 30 minutes. I called the welder, he says: shove the torch into the neck, if it doesn’t explode, I’ll take it to cook! .... Well, I took it and brewed it.
11.08.2011, 03:33
I had to cook the UAZkin tank the other day (the drain plug was torn out and the chop was clogged) There were three liters of benzyl left in the tank. I drained the gasoline, unscrewed the sensor and the intake, the filler plug, and threw it out into the sun for three days (good time allows), then, to be sure, I blew it for half an hour with a building hair dryer. Brewed and all the way. It was possible to fill it with carbon dioxide, I cooked it with a semi-automatic device, but this is if you really need it very quickly: D

How to wash a barrel of engine oil
How to clean a barrel of engine oil
If you have a barrel that used to store engine oil, and at the moment it needs to be washed urgently, a few tips for effectively removing oil residues will definitely come in handy for you:
The easiest and most effective method is dishwashing detergent. It is necessary to pour hot water into the barrel and add the product, let stand for a while. If necessary, repeat the procedure. As you know, this household chemicals do an excellent job with fat.
The second effective way is to roast the barrel from the inside. This method is applicable for metal barrels. This is done something like this: we take dry branches of trees, lay them on the bottom of the barrel and set fire to it. After the branches burn out and the barrel cools down, you will need to brush. You need to burn it carefully enough, because it is known that the oil is highly flammable. It is advisable to do this procedure in dry calm weather, cover the fire with a metal sheet or lid, if possible.
Sand and sawdust will also help clean the barrel of engine oil. It is necessary to pour sand or sawdust into a barrel for a day - they will absorb the oil. Then clean the barrel with water and dishwashing detergent. You can also use laundry detergent or laundry soap.
A more radical way is to paint the barrel from the inside, while you can use a paint brush or an airbrush. For painting, ordinary enamel is suitable. But before painting, it is advisable to wipe the barrel with newspapers, a cloth or fill it with sawdust in order to absorb excess oil residue.
Turn the barrel over, let the oil drain. Walk with thinner, kerosene or white spirit. These tools can be found at any hardware store. Caustic soda may also help. This highly alkaline agent is designed to corrode any organic and inorganic compounds.
When using these products, be sure to wear rubber gloves, and also protect your eyes, as skin contact may cause burns.
A method that will take a lot of time is to leave the barrel in the sun, more precisely in direct sunlight, for about one month. Engine oil should oxidize. After that, the barrel will still need to be washed with water and any detergent.
One of the above methods must definitely help wash the barrel of engine oil. As an additional option, you can suggest using active foam, which is found in car washes.

How can you clean the barrel of engine oil?
How can you clean the barrel of engine oil?
In principle, it is possible to clean a barrel of engine oil, and for this I can advise you on several methods that can be used separately, as well as combined if a full-fledged result is not obtained:
1) The means by which you wash the dishes:
2) The implementation of the roasting of the barrel:
3) Use of sawdust and sand:
4) Painting:
5) Use for cleaning solvent, kerosene or white spirit:
I use two canisters of machine oil to water my indoor flowers. Of course, not barrels, but I think the difference is not great and not fundamental.
First washed with diesel fuel. Then caustic, as Hungarian writes. There was not enough caustic for the second canister, table soda was used. How did you wash? First, he stirred the soda in hot water, poured it into the canister not to the top and put the official Sable in it. It was wonderfully teleported there, I even forgot about the first one, they reminded me only on the third day, isn't it time to pick it up? Then with liquid soap a couple of times, leaving overnight. Well, sun.
Not only flowers drink this water, I myself have tried it. Approximately the same (only without using a car) washed twenty-liter bottles for mash. It was a long time ago, I was still working at the plant, and in electroplating there were good bottles for some terribly harmful chemicals, with convenient plastic baskets with handles. It was a sin to pass by, on the night shift he carefully ferried over the fence, but changing and took him out.
I also have a lot of laboratory glassware at home, all sorts of glassware, with ground stoppers. The laboratory was disbanded, and the former boss, in a friendly way, gave it to me.
Well, in principle, the scheme is as follows: solvent soda soap. The rest is details and nuances.
You can wash it first with gasoline, then with a solvent, then with hot water with caustic soda.
Just be careful not to smell gasoline or solvent, otherwise you will land in the toxicology of the local hospital.
If the barrel is opened, pour dry river sand into it to cover the bottom with a layer in the palm of your hand.
Sprinkle the oiled walls of the barrel with sand too.
Leave for a couple of hours. Sweep sand from the walls to the bottom.
Stir the sand at the bottom so that the oil-soaked sand at the bottom mixes with the dry part.
Get him out of the barrel.
How to wash solar oil at home
Crumple the pages from hand to hand. Pour lightly with gasoline or alcohol.
Light a fire in the barrel. There will be no oil left - it will burn out.
You can burn everything. But the fire will be hot.
I annealed all my barrels in the country and then cleaned and painted. Transmission oil barrels for BelAZ trucks. Barrels are now thin-walled, not like before, they are fired quickly. The main thing is to ignite well in the seams along the ends of the barrel, but in these places you can also go through with a blowtorch.
Garden Garden Karina: I want to plant cucumbers in 200 liter barrels. They offered barrels from engine oil. I can’t understand whether it is possible to wash these barrels. They offered barrels from engine oil. I can’t understand whether it is possible to wash these barrels. Can anyone come across? Clara:
where do you live?
Vyacheslav:
why wash? if you use cucumbers as a pickle, you will achieve a greater effect
Gregory:
Steam under pressure or burn.
it is possible to wash it, but the process is tedious and lengthy .... it is easier to fill the barrels with either sawdust or sand and let them stand for a couple of days ...
I agree with everyone who says to burn it out, the only way, because nothing else will help, I have 2 such barrels for waste water in my garden. After firing inside, you won’t even think that there was something technical there. But it is best to entrust this to a man, in the sense of burning the barrels.
The best thing is to burn it out, just be careful, because. the fire is very strong, it is better in calm weather and, if possible, cover with a metal lid or sheet. Good luck!
it is better to burn only carefully, the oil will burn out and there will be no smell left
Steam or ferry. You can then lay large bags of black film, as garbage bags sell large containers.
Then take a picture of the plants with the harvest, we will admire it. You have a good idea!
Adding an answer (All answers are moderated.).
After the barrel is released from long-term aging of moonshine or wine, the structure becomes impregnated with an unpleasant odor over time, it can turn sour or become rotten. In this article, we will discuss the proper care of an oak barrel: cleaning it and preparing it for the next filling.
barrel durability
How long the cooperage product will last is up to you. Proper care and storage of the barrel in comfortable conditions will ensure a longer performance of the structure.
To reuse an oak vessel, it is necessary to carry out several washing steps. If wine was stored in a barrel, it is subjected to additional processing with sulfur or alcohol gases, and it is cleaned of wine residues with a solution of soda.
Barrel care rules:
- store a new barrel in polyethylene;
- after the wine, we wash the barrel and smoke sulfur;
- strong alcohol greatly depletes oak barrels (do not keep the vessels empty);
- we store containers in a humid room (75-80%);
- distance between barrels 500 mm;
- wooden vessels should be on racks or pallets;
- if the barrel has been idle for a long time, check for mold.
Mold barrel cleaning
If there is a small amount of mold, the wooden barrel must be cleaned immediately. Even if the fungal formation is very small, it can spoil the taste of an alcoholic drink or, worse, affect human health.
There are different stages of neglect: a touch of yellow and white.
Even after a thorough cleaning of the container from yellow mold, black areas will remain on the walls, this indicates that the oak structure is already invariably affected by mold that cannot be removed. It is better not to store wine in a spoiled vessel.
If, when cleaning the barrel from white deposits, there is no dirt left, therefore, it has not been spoiled and can be further used for its intended purpose.
Preventive measures for the care of wooden barrels include frequent steaming or rinsing with plain water. But it must be taken into account that such a procedure can be performed only after the complete removal of traces of mold, otherwise the vessel will be saturated with unpleasant odors, which will then affect the taste of the drink. First, we completely scrape off the mold, and only then we perform several stages of washing with cold and hot water (you can also use a soda solution).
Cleaning Method #1
This method involves the treatment of internal walls by charring. To do this, we take several grape chibouks and burn them inside a wooden structure. After this manipulation, it is necessary to clean the oak barrel, since a small layer of burning is formed on the walls; carefully scrape it out with a handy tool. The second stage is steaming: fill the vessel with boiling water and add oak shavings. After several hours, pour out the contents and fill with cold water for a day.
Cleaning method No. 2
Evaporation with sulfuric acid solution. To do this, it is necessary to dismantle the bottom of the barrel, and thoroughly clean the inner walls (you can use a tin sponge). To do this, dilute the water with sulfuric acid (for 1 bucket of water - 12 g of acid).
Over the next hour and a half, you need to shake the barrel and roll it on the ground so that the solution touches the entire inner area. Then drain the solution to rinse the oak barrel with water. Turn upside down until completely dry and repeat the rinsing procedure.
The next step will be washing with a charcoal solution. We take 10 liters of water and 2 kilograms of bone charcoal, mix. Using the prepared solution, rinse the walls from the inside. Rinse in cold water and leave to dry.
The level of damage to a wooden vessel by mold depends on how much effort will have to be made to remove it. Sometimes, to eliminate the smell, a good cleaning with a hard sponge is enough. In more advanced cases, it is recommended to give the barrel for salting to smoking with sulfur. By the way, this method also helps to clean the oak barrel from the smell of moonshine or wine.
Cleaning the barrel from rot
To remove rotten areas, you should use the method of burning grape chibouks (as in the first method for removing mold). In a particularly neglected case, it is better to reshape all the rivets; process ribs.
The reliability of this vessel is questionable, especially if it is planned to age wine products in it in the future. Wine can be saturated with a rotten taste.
Cleaning a sour barrel
To clean the inside of an oak barrel, it is necessary to carry out several stages of steaming.
The first stage consists in evaporating with a solution containing a large amount of soda. For 20 liters of hot water, 300 grams of soda ash is needed. Stir and pour the finished solution into a barrel for 2 hours.
The second stage is evaporation with ordinary water. After the procedure - rinse with cold water. To check whether the acid has really been removed, litmus paper is used.
We repeat the procedure for evaporating with soda again if the acid was not removed the first time. If after several results there is no effect, dispose of the barrel, it is no longer suitable for aging wine.
Yeast cleaning
Yeast sticks very strongly to the lower staves of the barrel and is not washed out by any washing or steaming, the question arises: “How to clean an oak barrel from adhering yeast?”. In this case, it is better to detach the bottom, and remove the plaque with strong friction. Then we steam the vessel with a solution of lime. We dilute 70 grams of disulphate lime in 5 liters of water, mixing well. We remove the solution from the barrel, rinse and set to dry.
- Remember to rinse the barrels after each use to keep them from drying out.
- Carry out preventive procedures to remove acidity and odors from barrels every six months;
- We do sulfuric gas treatment every 1-2 months.
At the dacha or in the garage, you always need a container for storing water. If you have a barrel on your farm that used to store fuels and lubricants, or you accidentally purchased a plastic barrel that was used for chemicals, then after high-quality cleaning and washing, such a container can even be used for a summer shower. So do not rush to part with the containers, and our tips and recommendations on how to clean a barrel of engine oil and how to clean a plastic barrel from chemicals will definitely come in handy.
Cleaning containers from fuel and lubricants
How to clean and wash the canister and evaporate the barrel? Fuels and lubricants are synonymous with the word "petroleum products". These materials include products and lubricants that are most commonly used in the automotive industry. For example, combustible materials, in other words, fuel, are divided into:
- Petrol.
- Diesel fuel or diesel fuel.
Lubricants are also divided into the following products:
- Engine oil.
- Transmission oil.
- Plastic lubricant.
- Special purpose oil.
Based on what exactly your container is contaminated with, the methods for cleaning the barrel of engine oil will also differ somewhat.
Methods for removing oil residues
Typically, containers where petroleum products were stored are cleaned using the following methods:
- Steaming.
- Flushing.
Such methods are quite dangerous and require special care. Proceed as follows:
- From the brick, install the supporting walls. There should be two.
- Put a metal barrel on supports.
- Pour enough water into the tank.
- Light a fire under the barrel.
- It is not necessary to close the cap of the container.
- The water must boil for a long time so that a sufficient amount of steam accumulates in the barrel.
- The remaining oil products, thanks to steam, will drain into the water.
- After the water boils and begins to cool, cover the barrel with a cork, but do not twist it.
- Leave the tank to cool.
- Pour out the dirty water from the barrel.
- Repeat the whole process one more time if you are not satisfied with the result.
Auxiliaries
To make the cleaning process more efficient, use the following preparations and substances:
- Caustic soda. This agent can be added to the water during steaming and rinsing to quickly wash the plastic barrel of chemicals.
- UPTS-2002. The drug effectively degreases and removes oil residues at a temperature of 30 to 50 degrees of water in a barrel. The product can also be used as a solvent for oil, lubricants, and other similar materials.
- SOFEKS-TMS-2001. This product is a general purpose cleaning product. You can also use it to clean the tank from oil residues under brand B. This detergent has several brands for various purposes and materials.
How to clean a barrel of engine oil with improvised means?
To remove residual diesel fuel or engine oil, gasoline is most often used.
Important! The smell of gasoline is well removed by a large amount of water.
We propose to use in the fight against the problem, how to clean the barrel of engine oil, and other improvised devices:
- Dishwashing liquid. This is the easiest and most effective way. Pour hot water into the barrel and then add detergent. Let the tank stand for a while, and then drain the dirty water. Household chemicals can easily cope with any fat. If the result does not satisfy you, then repeat the washing procedures. Rinse off any residue with plenty of water.
- Sand and sawdust. These substances will also help clean the barrel of engine oil. Pour sawdust or sand into the tank so that they absorb the oil. After - discard dirty materials and clean the tank with water, adding dishwashing detergent. As a washing device, you can also use laundry soap or washing powder.
Important! To clean the container of oil residue, you can use newspapers or other paper that can absorb liquid well, instead of sand or sawdust.
- Sun. This method will take time, since the barrel should stand for a month under direct sunlight. During this time, the engine oil will oxidize. To not only clean the barrel of engine oil, but also to remove the smell from it, rinse the tank with water and detergent.
- Dye. A more radical way to get rid of oil residue is to paint the barrel from the inside. Before painting, wipe the container with newspapers, any material or sawdust to absorb excess oil. You can use ordinary enamel for painting. You can use both a brush for paint and an airbrush when working.
- Solvent. Purchase thinner, white spirit, or kerosene at any hardware store. First, turn the barrel upside down so that the remaining oil drains, and then walk over the surface of the container with any solvent.
- Acoustic soda can also help in cleaning, which corrodes any, both organic and inorganic compounds. But it must be handled with extreme caution so that a high concentration of the solution does not corrode the plastic.
Important! When using solvents and other household chemicals, protect yourself with personal protective equipment. Before working, put on rubber gloves and protect your eyes with goggles.
- Use an active foam that is found in car washes to clean the barrel of engine oil, if possible.
Important! For metal barrels, we suggest using an effective method - firing from the inside. However, this procedure must be carried out in dry, calm weather and very carefully, since the oil is highly flammable. Proceed as follows:
- In the barrel, cut off the top lid.
- Put dry branches, firewood inside the tank.
- Set fire to the branches. Fire will remove all traces of oil.
- Cover the barrel with a sheet of metal to prevent the fire from spreading further.
- Wait for the barrel to cool down.
- Go over the surface with a stiff brush to remove any remaining dirt. As a result, you will get a clean container, but without additional coating, over time, the barrel will rust.
- Mix one kilogram of cement with 0.5 liters of milk.
- Coat the inside of the tank with the resulting mixture.
- Leave the barrel to dry for a couple of days.
- If desired, on top of the mixture, paint the surface from the inside with water-dispersion paint, although in this form, the tank can be used on the farm.
How to wash a plastic barrel from chemistry?
After high-quality cleaning and washing, a plastic container can be used, for example, for an outdoor shower or storing water for irrigation, but such a container is unsuitable for drinking water.
To clean a plastic barrel from chemicals and make it applicable for storing clean drinking water, you can use:
- Dishwashing liquid. Fill the barrel with hot water and add washing products. For high-quality washing, repeat the procedure several times. After - remove the detergent product with running water in large quantities.
- Caustic soda. This product removes all compounds, both organic and inorganic. Fill the container with hot water and add the product. After washing, rinse the container in running water.
- Laundry soap or laundry detergent. These cleaning products will also help you get rid of chemical residues.

Use our recommendations and advice and used barrels will come in handy again on the farm. And as a bonus, those unspent funds that you could use to purchase new water tanks can be spent on useful and pleasant things for yourself. Good luck!
Most industries clean barrels by steaming and washing.
Fuel oil is a product of oil refining, which, due to its gravity, precipitates. In fact, it is a waste of oil refining.
In comparison with other formed substances, it is the cheapest. This is the main property due to which it was previously used as a fuel.
In modern times, fuel oil can only be found at ancient power plants and boiler houses, in some places in old engines of the last century.
This type of fuel produces strong carbon deposits during combustion, has a pungent odor and has a low efficiency. Because of these qualities, it is abandoned and switched to other energy sources such as coal and gas. With the advent of the concept of cleanliness in ecology, old enterprises using fuel oil are closed or rebuilt.
But still there are many consumers of this type of oil product. Fuel oil is supplied to its customers in special containers: barrels and tanks. During operation, they become contaminated and lose useful volume. As part of prevention, manufacturing companies clean containers for further circulation of goods. How to clean a barrel of fuel oil if it is not alone. This is of course a labor-intensive process that takes a significant amount of time in this industry.
Most industries clean barrels by steaming and washing. This is a long-term process that can be hazardous to health. But lately, more and more large firms have seen new perspectives using modern chemistries. Unlike conventional solvents, special cleaners for fuel oil and other petroleum products are developed on an alkaline basis with the addition of effective additives. Through trial and error, a compound was created that removes fuel oil quickly and effectively.
Using modern chemicals is quite simple. It is enough to apply them to the contaminated surface, after a short period of time, rinse with water. If the plaque is large, then the procedure can be repeated. It is up to you to choose how to clean a barrel of fuel oil, but the practice of large cleaning companies shows that industrial chemicals have no competition. The advantage of modern products is their non-toxicity and high solubility in water. It may seem that such chemical compositions cost a lot of money, but in fact they are quite budgetary.
If you are thinking about how to clean a barrel of fuel oil and are leaning towards the latest in industrial chemistry, then contact the experts. Write to us and we will consider your problem in more detail. Thank you for your attention.

To wash the container from gasoline, you can use a soapy solution. It is highly desirable that the water be running. If you need to clean a 200-liter barrel, you will need a hose connected to the water supply. This work is not easy and it will not work to rinse the container in 1-2 times. You will need a large amount of water, soap, rags. Effective in this matter and the means used for washing dishes. If it is possible to use hot water, the process of washing the barrel will be faster.
Another way to clean the container from gasoline is to use kerosene. It is able to corrode most petroleum products, including gasoline and engine oil. To do this, dip a rag into kerosene and carefully wipe the bottom and walls of the barrel with it. The procedure is repeated several times. Then cold water is poured into the container, soda is poured and left for several days. After that, the barrel is thoroughly washed with running water.
How to burn a barrel of gasoline?
One of the most popular ways to get rid of the residue and smell of gasoline is to burn the container in which it was stored. But this is only possible if it is made of metal. For plastic barrels, you need to choose other methods. A gas burner is used to burn gasoline.
This work is quite dangerous, so it requires the use of precautions. First you need to make sure that all the gasoline is drained. If the bottom or walls of the metal barrel are uneven, you must use a rag and collect the remaining fuel with it. After that, the container must be given time to dry (on average, a couple of hours is enough).
Then turn on the gas burner and start firing the metal. If possible, the barrel is laid on its side. In no case should you look inside the container during its firing: this is fraught with severe burns. During work, you should try to keep the body as far away from open flames as possible. It is recommended to wear special gloves made of refractory material on your hands.
If the barrel is fired immediately after removing gasoline from it, care must be taken to ensure that there is a supply of dry sand nearby. It will be needed in case the remaining fuel was not carefully removed. The barrel should be at a safe distance from buildings and trees.
After firing, the container is thoroughly washed with water from a hose. When the barrel is dry, its interior can be painted with any suitable paint. If this container is planned to be used for storing drinking water, staining is carried out with compositions based on natural ingredients.
