I use my old methanol drums. If they are steel like
mine then there is no "lining". you can also use HDPE drums. But steel ones work
just fine. I have been making bio-diesel since Dec 01 and have made thousands of
gallons..........DB

Subject: [Biofuel] Tanks for storing
Biodiesel
Hello to all,
I would like to start
storing some biodiesel to be used as heating fuel this winter.
I have two 55 gallon
(209L) drums that methanol came in. They are blue tanks with "VP
Racing" on them. I was told that they are only used for methanol and "are
lined" with something. I plan to tee them into my heating fuel
line.
Will they make suitable
tanks for storing biodiesel? I'm a bit concerned about the lining. It is
apparently a feature that makes them more valuable for methanol storage, but
will biodiesel dissolve it?
Tom
