tank bottoms or tank residue

My comment:

or tank bottoms (it actually means the contents of the tank bottom). It is commonly used in Breweries, Oil refineries, Waste treatment, so I suspect that it's also used in Agriculture. If you have any doubts, use tank residue, that will be undestood by all.

I disagree! Strongly! This has clearly just been taken from an online translation engine - just goes to prove why we all have jobs still :-)

Yes, my mistake. Glad that you corrected it. Just looked through a few good dictionaries and I found this answer "Bottom of tank"/ "Bottom of vat". What do you think this time?

Sorry Stephanie, I still disagree, you don't seem to be looking at the context.
