Having an outside oil tank is a great way to store oil for a variety of uses. However, it is important to keep the tank clean and well maintained, including regularly cleaning the filter. This article will provide a step-by-step guide on how to clean a filter on an outside oil tank.
Preparing to Clean
The first step to cleaning the filter is to prepare the area. Gather the necessary supplies, such as a filter wrench to remove the filter, gloves, and a bucket. It is also important to ensure that the tank is turned off and that the area is well ventilated.
Cleaning the Filter
Once prepared, the filter can be removed from the tank using the filter wrench. Next, use a brush to scrub the filter clean. Once the filter has been scrubbed, rinse it off with water and place it in the bucket to soak. After it is done soaking, rinse it off again and reattach it to the tank.
Cleaning the filter on an outside oil tank is a relatively simple process. Following these steps will ensure that the tank and filter are properly maintained and will help to keep them running smoothly.
