Hey all,
I have a 20/25 gallon hydraulic oil tank that I bought used off of Craigslist ($20 steal!). I've drained the little bit of oil out, but how do i 'flush' it to remove the little dirt and debris? It has a drain in the bottom along with a center baffle wall. I thought about putting clean hyd oil in a hand weed sprayer to use the pressure to push the dirt to the hole, but the hose pressure would be the easiest. Could i use the water and just open up all the plugs and let this black tank dry out in this crazy hot Ohio weather?
Almost forgot, this is for use on my homemade log splitter and here is a link to the tank from Northern's website: Buyers Hydraulic Reservoir — 25 Gallon | Tanks + Reservoirs | Northern Tool + Equipment
