I'm resurrecting this thread. Just bought (1/6/24) a new 65 gallon poly tank that I'm going to use on my Gator to transport sap from the sugar bush to my shack. I plan on rinsing it out with some hot water today. Should I use lemon juice and water to clean/rinse/rinse, or is there something better? Thanks.
