Yeah, and if you want to go HiTek Redneck, just train the dog to open the ball valve when you pass a Keystone through the beer window!

5 gallons of gasoline (B100 would be an even better cleaning agent)... lay them on their side and roll them around on the ground.

Depending on what was in the drums .... you could probably use 1 gal of the dirty B100 per fillup and not hurt anything.

sound like a good cleaning method.

the drum i picked up today (steel) was used to carry butter, or peanut oil is what we were told.

should i hold off until i can find a plastic one?
my thoughts on this drum are that it carried a food product so it might have a liner? and if so the liner could deteorate over time?

thanx so much guys.

Expansion on Hypethetical question...

So continuing hypethetically...The last one was related to a letter from a person quitting because they could not pass a drug test at the time they rear ended someone...
This one is about a lawyer trying to force someone to go to THEIR Dr. Motion was denied. They appealed... decision stands..

So to recap this hypethetical situation...
1. Letter admitting high or whatever at time of accident.
2. Two SEPERATE judges have now told this attorney that the injured will NOT be going to said attorneys doctor.

Thoughts on how the lawsuite will come out?

No legal training here...and having a little trouble following what all you said. But I remember the pictures and seems to me you should win...........
if there is any justice!

Big difference between butter and peanut oil.
Butter, I would guess, ships in a grease type drum... with a removable top... and possibly a plastic liner.

Peanut oil would be perfect. In case there an any history buffs here, you may recall that Rudolph Diesel originally designed his engine to run on peanut oil in 1892. Charlie told me this is true...he was there!
