Beeing a tight wad, I was thinking of getting a oil tank to clean out for pure water !
would this be a waste of time, or has anyone done it ?
I shall await your thoughts !
Cheers

You can steam clean them to food grade easily enough but I wouldn't bother.
Just get some IBC's.

roll your eyes all you want
ibc is the way to go - I have 4 2 lower with 2 stacked above - the top 2 are linked and then I have a valve to dump into bottom 2 which are linked with 2" hose from the outlets and a sub pumping 1 of them - I actually use 2000 litres a day and never have a problem
