- How to use
Sobo Tank Cleaner must be diluted with water in order to activate it - do not use neat.
Step 1
- Agitate to activate the emulsion and then dilute to required concentration.
- Dilution rate is from 4-10%, ie 40ml to 100ml of Sobo Tank Cleaner to 1 liter of water.
- Fill the pressure washer tanker with water.
- For best results, use hot water.
Step 2
- Pour the required amount of Sobo Tank Cleaner into the pressure washer water tank.
- To use at a 4% solution, use 40ml of Sobo Tank Cleaner to 960ml of water; for a 10% solution, use 100ml Sobo Tank Cleaner to 900ml water.
Step 3
- Begin applying the solution to the oil contaminated area, starting at the highest point.
- Diluted solution that flows down the tank wall will act as a pre-soak for the lower, fouled surfaces.
Step 4
- Allow a contact time of 10-15 minutes before rinsing with water.
- Allow up to 60 minutes when used in the cleaning of oil tanks or heater tubes.
- For best results, use hot water to rinse after use.
