Urea can be evil stuff.
I find them very difficult to washout, thoroughly,
best,or,excellent fifty-fifty employ, is for logs in the cages and. Apply proper black tanks for drinking water which keeps the sunlight out as well ..

Urea is EVIL
Don't think there is anything else to be added

Presumably "a diesel fuel additive containing Urea" would be Ad-blue?

Surely if they are triple rinsed (like a spray tin can) they volition exist clean?

We did a test during my brief spell at vet college. A drop of water containing, I think, strychnine, was added to a examination tube of water. The exam tube was and so washed out several times with make clean water. Then nosotros did a test for strychnine with more fresh water in the test tube which would come upwardly positive for strychnine. (I forget the details, it was many decades ago!). That made quite an bear on on us students who, like anybody else, believed washing with h2o leaves stuff clean.

And waste pesticides rules and regs state used containers to be triple rinsed?We did a examination during my cursory spell at vet college. A driblet of h2o containing, I retrieve, strychnine, was added to a examination tube of water. The test tube was then washed out several times with clean water. So nosotros did a test for strychnine with more fresh water in the test tube which would come up up positive for strychnine. (I forget the details, it was many decades ago!). That made quite an impact on us students who, like everyone else, believed washing with water leaves stuff clean.
Also strychnine kills 9 times don't it if eaten,then that eaten so on allegedly they say?

Just ever used ibc that have had manganese in them which would seem to be quite easily to clean.
whats the all-time way to ensure an ex urea ibc is prophylactic to use?

It is quite mutual practice to mix urea with molasses, particularly as a drought feed supplement, for cattle
Absolutely, at near 122 kg urea to 1000 litres of molasses, so fairly low consumption rate . . .
But - I question how much urea was left in the shuttle to still be poisonous when diluted in 1000 l of h2o ?
Surely, if urea can be safely fed to cattle in an 8% mix with molasses, then a rinsed out shuttle must have a very low concentration, even if the cattle were drinking 100 l each
Urea is deadly, but it'due south not strychnine . . .

Use proper chemical tank cleaners ?

if they are triple rinsed, their should be no issue.
Advertizing blueish should be just urea in pure water at nigh 32%
even 10 litres left in a IBC should outcome in a dilution well below any risk if it was topped up with h2o, recall urea can be fed to cattle as a protein supplement, at a rate of upwardly to 60grams a day
I would gauge somebody probably topped up a container thinking it already held water and the thirsty cattle drank a poisonous dose. Information technology depends of course on the quantity left in and how much was added.

The golden rule for triple rinsing, empty as much asx possible, leaving no more than than i%Nosotros did a test during my cursory spell at vet higher. A drib of water containing, I think, strychnine, was added to a test tube of water. The test tube was then done out several times with clean water. And so we did a test for strychnine with more fresh water in the test tube which would come up positive for strychnine. (I forget the details, it was many decades ago!). That made quite an bear upon on u.s.a. students who, like anybody else, believed washing with water leaves stuff clean.
refill, arouse, empty three times
any resulting residuum when the container is refilled the 4th time will be diluted to 1 in ten,000,000
highly unlikely to kill whatever 1 even if the original production was pure strychnine

We steam make clean and pressure test well in excess of 100 IBCs a calendar month for our formalin - once done properly there is next to no trace of any previous product.
Given the low inclusion of urea in ad blue, I would have said there was already a large quantity of ad blue in the IBC whne topped up with water.

Reminds me of the 'urea in water bowser' incident a couple of years ago in UK.
Would rats eat it?
