Plastic 55 Gallon Drum

Post by HewesMan »

Anyone know where to get a plastic 55 gallon drum to run a motor in? I guess I would need it somewhat clean. I did see some on Craigslist but wanted to ask here first.

That is a little further than I wanted to go. Maybe I should add Tallahassee area.

Why not use a trash can?

There's a man on 319 headed towards Crawfordville, just past Oak Ridge Rd., on the left that has been selling them for several years. I've gotten so used to the sign that I can't remember if he still sells them or not.

Place in Bainbridge on Hwy 84 East has a bunch of them.

All u need is a saw horse and a big trash can. Unless it's a big motor, then you just need ears and a hose.

We have steel ones, I use one for my pontoon boat being my motor won't run on ears, I just put a valve in the bottom to drain it, works good

Country Feed store on Hwy 20 used to sell them. Haven't checked lately. Gulf Coast Lumber in Woodville may have them. If you know someone that has a car wash, they get soap in plastic drums & will probably give them to you.
