cleaning drinking water tanks

chuck a few teaspoons of carb soda in and slosh it around........might have to take it for a drive to do that I guess...flush throughly afterwards

Just undo the bung and drain it , stick the hose in let it run for 4 minutes .that's all I do and much to some's displeasure ...I'm not dead yet..

.

Empty tank(s) then refill with fresh water, add half a cup of plain bleach (white king or similar) go in van and open each tap in turn till you can smell the bleach, then close tap . Do this to all outlets!
Then fill tank up to brim again, leave overnight ,then empty out tank again and flush with fresh water run all taps till no bleach can be smelled then re fill tank and water will be fine.
We had "gardia" bug in our tank from some suspicious water supply in Broome, It nearly killed my wife and she spent a week in bed, and this how we were told to clean out tanks and hoses etc.

Never had any problems since and we prepare our tanks this way every year now.

Hi Scotty
go to a home brew shop and buy some keg and line cleaner and follow the instructions, this will dissolve everthing then rinse.
