i have a few of these that i got form work and was wondering if cleaned properly if i could use them for water storage?
How would be the best way to clean these to get all remaining traces of oil out?

Id say this is a bad idea. Go to home depot/walmart and buckets or containers made to transport fuel. Problem solved

I thought about the fuel storage tanks as well.

Walmarts has a nice 7gallon water jug in their camping department. You can even use 3/4" fittings on the lid.

vegetable oil shouldn't be hard to clean up with soap and water. Just make sure you rinse out all the soap.
