I don't know what kind of barrel your petrodiesel was stored in, but from what I understand HDPE containers can stand up to the rigors of BD. Or just about anything else.

Where to get HDPE barrels for cheap/free I don't know; I plan on using agricultural tanks to store fuel for Dad's truck, when I get that far. They're HDPE, and about $400 for a 300gallon tank around here.
Hope that helps.

I just made my first successful test batches. Now, I want to make about 200 gallons and store it . Can I store the BD in plastic barrels? I stored some Dino Diesel in a white plastic barrel once and wound up with 50 gallons of diesel on the barn floor because it ate the seams out of the barrel. Should I store it in steel barrels?
