I now have a evenly brown and beige bottom, truly ugly. I am considering a sand blaster rental, using crushed shells or??? Is this a good idea, or would some other method be better?
I suspect the power washer used was at the low end of the power washer
spectrum.
What you need is at least a 3,500-5,000 PSI unit.
A self contained unit will probably have a 75-100 HP diesel driving the
pump.
Check out the contractor equipment rental places in your area, or even
tank cleaning contractors.
Expect a rental fee of $200-$300 for the day.
Personally, I'd hire a tank cleaning contractor with a good operator.
They are a marvel to watch at their work.
