Hello Team,
I am new to this forum I was referred by www.Jeepforum.com
Seems this site has alot of info yet is still is very new.
Thought i would share a resource with the site.
Due to gasoline prices down around 2.40 a gallon i fiqure it is time to stock up on some more.
Currently i have four 5 gallon surplus NATO cans that i use for gas storage for my small generator and lawn equipment. These things are over 50 years old and still seal very tightly.
I was looking to increase my total capcity and although the 5 gallon cans are handy i wanted a container that i did not have to constantly lift every time i needed fuel not to mention lugging these back and forth to the gas station.
So i purchased the following 30 gallon steal drum.
and the pump
total price was about $125 shipping included.
I read on other sites about purchasing used barrels from oil suppliers and what not but didn't want to hassle searching around from shop to shop.
The company has 55 gallon drums as well however the weight full of gasoline is tremendous and i think the 30 gallon will suit my needs just as well.
I use a hand truck to move the barrel around and use a fuel hose i purchase from the local marine store to pump the gas out.
I filled the barrel with roughly 26 gallons of gas to allow room for expansion and treated with an stabil
