Painting an Fuel Oil Tank |
|
|
I need to paint my fuel oil tank. Fuel oil was recently spilled on the tank so new paint won't stick. How do I clean the oil off of it before I paint it?

Dawn dishwashing detergent is used by public works to clean up fuel oil from pavement.

Here are some options:
use a laquer thinner on a rag and wipe off.
Use a carwash soap or liquid soap with a grease cutter in it.
OR go ahead and paint it with an oil based paint,
this way it will stick and future stains will wipe off.
Good Luck.
