Re: Is a Poly Drum legal for fuel?
per topic one thing that was not mentioned but is valid. iirc from another thread some where around 300+ gal and you fall under the fuel supplier clause and must be properly trained/insured.
diesel like many have said is not of interest to any one till it spills. gas how ever is an entirely different story due to likely hood of explosion. I cant remember how much gas is required to = a stick of dinamite but its not many cans. the fire dept is likely to get to an accident and resolve any fire issues before the diesel goes up. the gas on the other hand could go up with static electricity.
the poly is not leagel but untill some kid tries to drink the whole ollive juice container in 1 sitting and gets violenty sick due to it being diesel in a olive can that was in some one elses barn will any one care. then of course the idiot who broke in to the barn will get off scott free and the farmer will get many lawsuits and fines as well as an epa visit for ensuring he has not poisoned the land. ...etc. EVEN if its just gona be in your barn to label it! stupid lawsuit happy country. those who have been truely injured are always short changed and the hot coffie spills win it all.
charlesaf3 Depends on conditions. the least ammount of head room possible = longer shelf life. less watter = less alge. also petrol vs bio bio has 2+ years of shelf life vs 6mo in a test that was done by the airforce or navy. all fuel met the atsm standards and were properly cared for. the study ended after 2 years and 90+% of the bio was still in good condition most of the dinod was green with envy. (this is being pulled from memory and summerises the text so it will be off by a tad. it was over 2x as long) also fuel additives make a huge difference
