Davidb6 · 07/20/2010, 04:34 PM

Anybody have or know where I can get a 150 - 300 plastic water storage drum local?

Thanks

Not sure if they stock them, but you can try Tractor Supply. There is one in Danbury. The price for something like that is pretty expensive, but at least you wont have to pay for shipping. Bring your pickup truck

2 4 Tractor.

And its for Potable water storage. Rubbermaids to Pick up truck tanks.

Dave, Why can't you daisy change a bunch of the 55 gallon ones together. It's cheaper. Since you helped me out a few years back, I can probably give you a few of them for free.

I like the tractor supply tank but $500 bucks is high for water storage.

Thanks for the offer Bob. I have a food grade 60 gal drum and I could add a couple more. I don't really have the room and wanted to see if there was anything larger out there to save on space.

Blake Equipment in Danbury has the 165 gallon cylinder tank for $198.00 my cost.
It's 31" diameter 55" tall comes with a 2" drain and a 6" fill opening.

The 300 gallon vertical is $278

May or may not be useful, but here is a tank on CL, says he has 275 gallon food grade tanks for $150

I just looked at that it says non food grade

mikelaubach · 07/23/2010, 08:30 AM

The food grade is $150, the NON food grade is $125 per the text in the ad.

sorry my bad I was wrong

mikelaubach · 07/23/2010, 09:03 AM

Just making sure the right data is in the thread.

Davidb6 · 07/23/2010, 01:24 PM

welldigger, that is just what I'm looking for..about 36" base and tall however, I'm back to the $300 range for the 300 gal.

Fiziksgeek, thanks for the link, I saw that and was concerned it would take up to much room.

Thanks anyway..looks like I need to come up with anyother solution.

Thanks
