Does anyone have and ideas on how to get the dead animal smell out of a polyethelyene water tank. I have no idea how the critter got in but it sure didn't get back out until it was mostly slime:( :( :( It is a 3200 litre tank so I think baking soda is probably out of the question.
Just soak something that smells even worse in there. :)
Man, I feel your pain. I never figured it out in an old jeep a few years ago that a bag of pigroast trimmings got left in for 2 months and tried everything. The buzzards even circled our house.
Yeah, but it seems like the buzzards are ALWAYS circling your house Jeff. ;D
It may be the best place to find a Furby carcass...
:o :o :o
One of the younguns let some meat spoil in my new cooler one time, used baking soda, bleach and vinegar, individually and togather. Threw the cooler away. >:(
I'd dump some quick lime into the tank, fill it with water and leave it awhile. Calcium Hydroxide would be my second choice. It's the lime that is used in out-houses to help decompose the feces and kill the smell. It probably won't take as much as you imagine.
Call your janitoral supply and ask about a enzyne based drain treatment and mal-odor neuteralizer.
They are pretty common and used to treat odor and slime build up in floor drains. The enzynes digest organic deposits and are harmless, try for one with a high enzyne concentrate some of the cheap ones are diluted. If you can fill your tank, add a gallon or two and leave it for a couple of days it should take care of it.
I keep a qt. of the one i sell around here for ice chest and to get the fish smell off my hands.
At farm stores they sell spray tank cleaner, It will remove some pretty nasty deposits.
