If your dacha farm has a container that previously contained vegetable or technical oil, then after cleaning such a container can be used to collect irrigation water and organize a summer shower. We have collected the most effective ways to clean a metal tank from oil film and wash a plastic container from chemical residues.
How to wash diesel fuel in a car. Tip 1: How to wash diesel fuel
Diesel fuel is widely used both in the professional sphere and in everyday life. The most ardent “buyers” of diesel fuel are, of course, motorists. You can only imagine what their wives and mothers have to deal with when washing clothes, but many of them still know how to wash diesel fuel and not throw the item in the trash.
Instructions
1. In everyday life, some housewives who choose “grandmother’s methods” use diesel fuel to get rid of rust. But how can you wash the diesel fuel itself? Many people have probably found themselves in a situation where diesel fuel got on their clothes or shoes and the question arose of how to wash it off. Removing diesel fuel stains from clothes is not that difficult; you can often do this at home. Try soaking the fabric in dishwashing detergent. 2. Use reputable degreasers. 3. If you put a stain on a clear cloth, you can remove it with a solution of ammonia and water. The proportion should be 1:8. 4. Gasoline will help to wash diesel fuel from woolen fabric, and warm water and laundry soap from cotton fabric. 5. In some cases, using regular washing powder helps. 6. If you have stained clothes made from sensitive fabrics or simply don’t want to deal with stains at home, contact a dry cleaner. They will definitely help you. Only in this case it is necessary to consider that it is impossible to remove the stain on your own in advance. 7. It is not recommended to wash off diesel fuel stains from shoes. Dry your shoes thoroughly and leave them in the fresh air until the smell disappears. 8. It is recommended to wash off diesel fuel from any other surface with gasoline or dishwashing detergent, which effectively removes grease. 9. The main problem with diesel fuel is the smell. Removing stains is not difficult, but only time and airing outside can combat the smell, because diesel fuel is a substance that takes a long time to evaporate. This smell is not a hindrance for car enthusiasts; the smell of diesel fuel and gasoline is the smell of a true motorist. But it’s better for housewives to think about whether it’s worth getting rid of rust using such an “annoyingly smelling” method.
Rinse with pharmaceutical products
An inexpensive but effective antiseptic, which is found in any home medicine cabinet, can easily clean and disinfect plastic utensils. To treat a 20-liter container, you need to prepare the following solution: dilute 100 liters of hydrogen peroxide in 2 liters of water. Pour the resulting liquid into a container, close the lid and leave for 2-3 hours, during which time the hydrogen peroxide will react and dissolve algae, sediment and dirt. After the time has passed, you need to shake the bottle or canister several times and rinse with running water. If the plaque is very strong, then the procedure should be repeated again.
How to clean a flask of diesel fuel. How can you clean a barrel of machine oil?
How can you clean a barrel of machine oil?
In principle, it is possible to clean a barrel of machine oil, and for this I can advise you several methods that can be used separately, as well as combined if the full result is not obtained:
1) The product you use to wash dishes:
2) Carrying out firing of the barrel:
3) Use of sawdust and sand:
5) Using solvent, kerosene or white spirit for cleaning:
I use two cans of machine oil to water my indoor flowers. Of course not barrels, but I think the difference is not great and not fundamental.
First I washed it with diesel fuel. Then with caustic, as the Hungarian writes. There wasn't enough caustic for the second canister, so I used table soda. How did you wash? First, I mixed the soda in hot water, poured it into the canister not to the top and put it in the service Sobol. It floated around there beautifully, I even forgot about the first one, they only reminded me on the third day, isn’t it time to pick it up? Then use liquid soap a couple of times, leaving it overnight. Well, that's it.
Not only flowers drink this water, I tried it myself. I washed twenty-liter mash bottles in about the same way (only without using a car). This was a long time ago, I was still working at a factory then, and in the galvanization shop there were good bottles for some quot; terribly harmfulquot; there were chemicals, with convenient plastic baskets with handles. It was a sin to pass by, but during the night shift I carefully transported him over the fence, and after changing, he took him out.
I also have a lot of laboratory glassware at home, all kinds of glass, with ground stoppers. The laboratory was disbanded, and the former boss gave it to me out of friendship.
Well, basically, the scheme is this: solvent soda soap. The rest is details and nuances.
You can wash it first with gasoline, then with solvent, then with hot water and caustic soda.
Just be careful, don’t quot;smellquot; gasoline or solvent, otherwise quot; moorquot; to the local hospital toxicology department.
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 oily walls of the barrel with sand as well.
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.
Dump it out of the barrel.
How to wash diesel fuel at home
Crumple the pages from quot;Hand to Handquot;. Pour lightly with gasoline or alcohol.
Light a fire in the barrel. There will be no oil left there - it will burn out.
You can burn it all out. But the fire will be hot.
I annealed all my barrels at the dacha and then cleaned and painted them. Transmission oil barrels for BelAZ vehicles. Barrels are now thin-walled, unlike before, they burn quickly. The main thing is to bake it well in the seams at the ends of the barrel, but in these places you can also use a blowtorch.

Cleaning a rainwater fuel barrel
Dear experts! I received a 200 liter barrel. from fuels and lubricants (liquid lubricating oil, brand unknown). I plan to use it for collecting rainwater and subsequent irrigation. How to clean this barrel? Previously I dealt only with barrels of paints and food liquids. Some people recommend burning with a blowtorch or starting a fire inside the barrel. What do you advise?

There will be a burnt rusty barrel. Buy a new one from the juice and suffer. Not space money.
Well, burning it out is certainly not an option. How would I act? First, turn it over and let what flows out drain, then you can try to wash it off as much as possible with a strong stream from a hose. Wipe everything possible with a rag. You can throw in sawdust to absorb everything.
Next, if you have a spray gun, you can fill it with solvent and wash it off, wash it off. Or a rag in solvent. In general, it’s a gimmick business, the price of the issue may turn out to be more than buying a new barrel, although at one time I received 3 barrels of sunflower oil, they still hear nothing. Patience and work will grind everything down
asp_new In such weather, I would not recommend using spray solvent. barrel in one direction, you in the other
2Moskvich About 20 years ago, when the sites were being developed, everyone brought barrels of fuel and lubricants (Soviet, thick-walled) and fired them. So, almost all of them still have barrels alive. If the rusty look bothers you, paint it with Kuzbasslak or Spetsnaz. And barrels of imported jams/confitures are very thin and do not last long.

Where can you buy normal barrels now?
Last year, on the way to the dacha, I bought a barrel of juice concentrate from a building materials store (I don’t remember how much I paid, I think 200 rubles). Looks beautiful, no rust. Only thin and light. I'm afraid it won't last long. How can I further protect it? Painting with paint is a bit expensive; five times a day of painting with normal paint the price is close to the cost of the same new barrel
Solovey 2 plastic has survived 3 generations of steel barrels. so blue
Bachelor, how much do plastic ones cost? How many barrels of juice and jam costing 200 rubles is equivalent to one plastic barrel? How long does it take for a juice barrel to rot if it is not painted?
Try dissolving 1..2 kg of caustic soda in a barrel, hold it for a while. days, then drain (preferably not into the ground or river). The result will be better if the water is heated. Of course, it won’t wash off completely, but the oily water will no longer be there. The rainbow film in all variants will be present for some time.
Plastic barrels are certainly good. But there is still a point, they are so good that they will most likely be stolen from me very quickly
So I'd rather have a metal one and something heavier
Only you don’t come across these, they’re all thin.

The neighbor brought in 100. They have this as a consumable (I took a couple more to replace the steel, free ones
PS: What to fill with. Sometimes I drive water from the river. then it rusts very quickly (rusted)

Place the plastic one inside the iron one and concrete the space between them
