Hi,
      I purchased a recondition steel drum (food grade) to use as a
settleing tank.  The drum has been refurbished with new baked on
lining.  My question is the drum has an odor (like the odor of a new
car), from the reconditioning.  I read somewhere that before you can
use a steel drum you should clean it with vinger and water.  If this
is true does any one know the proportions.
