Default Re: Is a Poly Drum legal for fuel?

Ok Bob I hear what your saying, but...

It would be very hard to prove my 55 gallon poly drum is a hazzard.
Its made out of HDPE. Look at the bottom of the "approved" container....also HDPE.
The drum I use is much thicker HDPE. And in my case at least I have an approved cap, basically one of those the spring loaded caps that are used on the metal pickup truck tanks.
I thread it into one bung and seal the other bung.....
so in the unlikely event of an accident I feel comfortable.

The drum I use is even blue, and since off road diesel and keronse are basically the same thing.......
