guys using drum spill containment?

[ultrarunner]

We just had a drum of bio diesel dropped off this morning... it was free as an incentive to open an account.

The driver said we need to have a spill containment system in place.

It can be as simple as a special pallet like platform that can hold 60 gallons should there be a leak.

Never thought I would need one for bio fuel made from food grade stock.

Those that have drums of fuel are you also required to have containment?

Fuel Drum Spill Containment?

We just had a 55 drum of bio diesel dropped off this morning... it was free as an incentive to open an account.

The driver said we need to have a spill containment system in place.

He said most use a special pallet like platform that can hold 60 gallons should there be a leak.

Others have a drum or other larger container.

Never thought I would need one for bio fuel made from food grade stock.

Those that have drums of fuel... how do you handle containment and seismic bracing?

Just what I was looking at... thinking maybe the 66 gallon one so if the entire drum emptied?

That is mailing list can't seem to get off. Bought something once. Now I get calls every few month about specials and checking if need to order anything.

Yeah, we use those spill pallets at my employer, too. If you're going to use them, get a drum lifter for your forklift, or a drum dolly and a ramp like this...

If you do a search on spill containment pallets there are many out there, but the ones listed above are very good. Amazon has a bunch Amazon.com: spill containment pallets

I had the link as I was looking for a pallet for my drum/fuel tank set up. I opted for a basic HD plastic pallet.
