We have a $2? publication available here in Tampa - "Bargain Trader" It seems it's widely available. their website is: http://www.bargaintraderonline.com/index.html There's a feller here (found him in the bargain trader) who has(had?) both steel and pvc drums--$15-20 each? (This is from memory-- I called a few months ago. I believe he's a recycler of some sort and has a steady supply. I can check it out again if anyone wants to use him for drums.) -Tim Z ----- Original Message ----- From: "kirk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <biofuel@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, May 14, 2001 4:35 AM Subject: RE: [biofuel] Cleaning oil drums A place to look for used steel drums is the factory for dairy products. If they reconstitute orange juice they get it in drums with a liner. I live near Great Falls Mt. and the Meadow Gold plant there turns out about 4 empty drums a week. -----Original Message----- From: Keith Addison [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2001 11:55 PM To: biofuel@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [biofuel] Cleaning oil drums > Hello All, > > Finally, sweet success!

If it's really recalcitrant stuff, try this: http://www.por15.com/metalprep_degrease.html Metal Preparation & Cleaner-Degreaser Scroll down to MARINE-CLEAN. It's not cheap but it's excellent, like all the POR-15 stuff. "MARINE-CLEANŞ cleans and degreases in one application without leaving residues, noxious fumes or flammable solvents. No other cleaner works as fast or as well. It makes petroleum-based cleaners almost obsolete because MARINE-CLEANŞ can be diluted with water up to 3, 4, 5 and even 10 times its volume while remaining more potent than other cleaners. MARINE-CLEANŞ removes grease, oil, mildew, algae, musty odors, soap films, wax. Use it to clean canvas, vinyl, nylon, holding tanks, grease traps, auto parts and more.
