Hmm. Trade Club branded oil? Looks interesting. Is there a fully synthetic option too?

Wonder how much it would cost me to get that delivered? I've finally run out of 10/40. Could do with some 20/50 semi as well

Hmmm, I'll start keeping my 5l bottles then, and decanting larger ones...  ...I'll make a mess if I try pouring from a 20l can into an engine ;D

Do I look like a 'tard?

Actually, don't answer that one ;D

Although oil wouldn't give off enough vapour to catch easily...

Decanting is a problem on the bigger cans. Plus having a means of measuring how much is going in.

Thanks for heads up Andy  :y

Done it before with 20L drum of Anti-freeze into 5L's quite tricky single handed really, due to weight & size and the small target. *insert dirty joke here*

With big metal drums, I've seen pumps are fitted on top, wonder if such an attachment could be found. Be quite useful especially with V6's needing 5.5L. Less mess as well having to keep pouring them into 5L

all i use is a screw on barrel tape. Take the cap of and screw the tape cap back on, plastic ones i use are 3 or 4 quid the last time i got one

With mine i built a rack to take 3 drums on there side so i have oil at the top then antifreeze and the water and a space underneath for the old can any other oils

I've got a barrel tap somewhere. I wonder if it's the right thread?

Have look at the homebrew barrels.

Holds 20ltrs
Cap on the top and a tap at the bottom.
you could always give it a squart of gas to help it flow out the tap  ;)

And pretty cheap
