WANTED: 30 gallon drum/barrel
« on: May 08, 2015, 12:54:17 PM »
Just like the title says.  I have one but need a second.  Anyone have one they want to get rid of?  Hopefully in SoCal.

Thanks!

Sounds like someone's building mufflers.  :-D :roll: :evil:
I hope they work out for you Nathan. Its likely the cheapest way and you can always upgrade if you need more.

The barrel I already have (or will be getting soon) is a VP fuel drum.  I'm not picky.  VP, ERC, lemon meringque... doesn't matter what was in it really.  Just needs to be empty.   :-D

     Do take all precautions possible when working on or around them.  The fuel may be gone but vapors WILL remain, bad things can happen fast, I've seen and heard the results.
