I am in need of ideas

[Ernie]

Does anyone have and ideas on how to get the dead animal smell out of a polyethelyene water tank.  I have no idea how the critter got in but it sure didn't get back out until it was mostly slime:( :( :(  It is a 3200 litre tank so I think baking soda is probably out of the question.

Just soak something that smells even worse in there.

Man, I feel your pain. I never figured it out in an old jeep a few years ago that a bag of pigroast trimmings got left in for 2 months and tried everything.  The buzzards even circled our house.

[Furby]

Yeah, but it seems like the buzzards are ALWAYS circling your house Jeff. ;D

It may be the best place to find a Furby carcass...

One of the younguns let some meat spoil in my new cooler one time, used baking soda, bleach and vinegar, individually and togather. Threw the cooler away. >:(

I'd dump some quick lime into the tank, fill it with water and leave it awhile.  Calcium Hydroxide would be my second choice.  It's the lime that is used in out-houses to help decompose the feces and kill the smell.  It probably won't take as much as you imagine.

Call your janitoral supply and ask about a enzyne based drain treatment and mal-odor neuteralizer.
They are pretty common and used to treat odor and slime build up in floor drains. The enzynes digest organic deposits and are harmless, try for one with a high enzyne concentrate some of the cheap ones are diluted. If you can fill your tank, add a gallon or two and leave it for a couple of days it should take care of it.

I keep a qt. of the one i sell around here for ice chest and to get the fish smell off my hands.

At farm stores they sell spray tank cleaner, It will remove some pretty nasty deposits.
