there would have been a ton of them at Daytona this last 2 weeks around the track. if you hurry, you might be able to snag one or 2 or wait for bike week. 

[Ida_Mann]

I'd be looking for one to be a water tank, so it would have to be in decent condition,,,,,how about that?

[Fox17]

idk then. for free what do you expect. i dont know where to buy them.

[Ida_Mann]

I do wonder if carwashes throw out the used up ones,,,,or what they do with them.

Crowder Brothers Hardware in Bradenton sells them. Clean ones, real nice. Used two at my camp in the Everglades.

Feed Depot in Tampa @ Bearrs & Nebraska carries them @ times and also Holloways feeds in Land O Lakes.

They were only $13 when I got mine @ the Feed Depot and were the black plastic ones with screw off lids that were used to ship peppers in, not chemicals.

Go to your nearest water treatment plant they should have them there .I live in venice and dot a couple for free, I made a solar water tank out of them. I got mine for free.

i got one in my backyard its been there for probably the better part of 10 years, you probably wouldnt want it because i dont know what it was used for and its probably got some rank water in it. it was there when we moved in.

give me a call

[eldiablo64]

i've seen them advertised on craigs list  pickle barrels

[bocephus300]

man i have about ten of them i use as holding tanks for showers. sounds kinda wierd but try going by a transmisson shop or a carwash. they get them with soaps or parts washing fluid in them, i get em and just wash them with water and bleach and are good to go.

[Ynot0323]

I get the baby version of these all the time.. State D.O.C gets laundry det and bleach in em.. 15 gal jugs..

We use em at the Police Range, for brass.. And i have no problem loading em into my truck with the handle on the top..

I'm getting 2 FDA approved 55 gallon drums to store water for my fish tanks. They're about $50 each.

Flyingdog is right..I e-mailed Orlando Drum and  this was their response...


We have new, reconditioned and used for the following prices.  $40.00, $30.00, $20.00.  These are all tight heads.  If it is for drinking or potable water you can only use new drums. They are in stock and ready for pick up.  Our hours are Mon-Fri 8:00-11:30 and 12:30-4:00.

Thanks,
Keith


$40.00 for  a new drum for drinking is a small price to pay...better than risking using a drum from an unknown source (for drinking that is)
