I found
Tank Cleen from BCF worked
well for my new poly tanks.
Probably available elsewhere also.

What brand are the components troopy?
If you fit "Pope" brand
water grade hose you'll never get rid of that horrible plastic taste! You'll have to replace it.
Others may have similar info on other components?
Cheers,
Kevin....... :=)

On the undertray
tank on my last vehicle I'd get a plastic taste for the first 500mls - then it would go away if I kept running the
water - so I knew it was the hose and not the
tank. If you get the same, then replace the hose. AS above with Kevin, do not buy Pope brand
water hose. The Nylex and Neta brands are OK.

Just replaced all the hoses with non toxic
drinking water hose from RV
shop and have filled
tank with mix of bi carb soda and white vinegar and then filled
tank with clean
water leave it for 24 hours flush
tank out and hope it is OK.

if you fill up your
water tank with garden hose from town
water the chlorine burns the inside of the hose you must change all your hose to the blue double lined hose and no more tast
if you fill up from a rain
water tank it does not mater what hase you use
