Re: Water Tank


Doubt it was liquid nitrogen in it in the first place.
Was likely anhydrous ammonia, which is a liquid form of nitrogen fertilizer,
which may leave a residue.
Had you had a 1500 gallon tank full of real liquid nitrogen, unless the tank
was well insulated with a vacuum jacket it would likely all evaporate with
in a couple days.
