Does anyone have any experience with Advacado Oil? Will a tote that had it in it clean up to use for sap? If they won’t clean up well, what are the best ones to get? Thanks

I have used theses. The avocado can be a bugger to clean but with good hot water they are not bad.
No issues
I haven't had to clean oil out of a tote but added manhole covers to my totes to make them easier to clean. I can lay the tote on it's side and reach in to scrub the sides and top. I got the covers on Amazon.

Thanks guys. I see someone in Springfield, VT selling them for $50 and was wondering if they were worth the hassle or not. I think I am going to need more storage for flexibility in boiling time this year. I don’t really want to spend too much money.
I've never cleaned out Avocado, but have cleaned apple juice concentrate, O.J. concentrate, Vanilla and Safflower oil. Those last 2 are ok I thought, minor flavor in maple taste tests for the vanilla and the safflower oil is used by organic producers as a defoamer. I still cleaned them out well.
At $50 I'd suspect something, that is well under the norm for good, once used IBC totes.
So Russ what are lids - covers call on Amazon? Can't seem to find them.
Thanks Brian
This is the cover that I used. I can't seem to find it on Amazon anymore either. https://shop.snydernet.com/tank-acce...esco-60038.asp
The going price here for a used IBC was $140. I needed one this year. It held vegetable oil, and was not too bad to clean with a power washer. I will probably have to pick up another one next year, and would be delighted if they sold for $50 and were completely cleanable.
Thanks for the info ,these will make it easy to maintain.

Do those IBC tanks drain completely like the stainless sap tanks from the maple equipment producers? Or is there a bulkhead fitting on the bottom/side that prevents complete drainage?
