I have a couple but not going to Newent :'(

If you buy 20l of Vx Semi Synth in a tub it's not that much more than the 4x5l offer so that's another route you could take.

Took 40l of old oil to the tip a couple of months ago. Got a few shifty looks from the attendants. ::)

Kevin

Trouble for me there is disposing of the old!

And no top tips about doing an oil change over a drain!

Why not, works a treat, just chuck a few squirts of fairy liquid down to and use the neightbours drain not yours.

Ow yes, dont drop the sump plug :y

Shame - company i worked for used to make these type of closed head drums - from 20 - 30 Lits.  I designed their current range back in early 70s - they are still making same designs today suitable for carriage of dangerous goods.
I think one of their competitors either sells similar direct or through agents - try  http://www.harcostar.co.uk/index.html

Trouble is you really need to add creosote to it and you cant get that any more!

Spray it over the under side of the car and in the chassis rails, now thats the old trick!

You can, if you know where to go.....

The factory that pressure treats retro wooden railway sleepers as well as all BT's tele poles is only a few miles from me.  Its the original 'good stuff' and not the BnQ and similar lookalikes...
