>> tips on liquefying HFCS once
>> it has set up in plastic storage tanks?  What is the storage life of 55
>> HFCS?  Any other HFCS tips appreciated.

When we are expecting a load of HFCS, we fill the tank up to the 10% mark
with clean (sterile), fresh water, in advance of the delivery.  When the
warm syrup is added, the water and syrup mix perfectly due to the agitation
of filling.  The mixture is then at the ideal 2:1 proportion and does not
ferment or granulate, even at minus forty degrees.

I currently have a 1500 gallon poly tank sitting outside in full sun.  We
filled it just before I retired, and since I cut down to 35 hives, I only
use a few drums a year out of it.   The tank has been sitting there, full of
syrup, for two years and the HFCS is still water white and fresh - and  not
in the least granulated.
