Have another crew coming tomorrow to finish up the install. I like it!

I guess I just need to get a couple 5 gal. buckets. :thumbup:

I had one of these, I didn't like it because it was a smaller target to hit with the oil coming out of the drain plug and it didn't hold enough oil.

I have no room inside at the moment for anything that size and I don't want to put something like that outside in my yard and have to deal with the hassle of getting it pumped out. This is just my personal garage......not a business. :)

haha! our Vipers use 12qts. sooooo come on. :D

yeah.......that's a bit much. Once I build my second garage/shop I'll have room but still I see no purpose for that much storage. don't think there are very many people in Houston TX that have waste oil furnaces. :)

I've done the same in a pinch. I was just looking for a better solution. I just moved into this house and I'm getting the garage all squared away and this is one of those things that's always bugged me. I want a nice convenient, clean and easy way to store and transport oil. I'll stop by the...

I hear yeah......but some times be months before I take in my used oil and I just don't want random jugs of oil sitting around my garage.

I wouldn't make them transport used oil in their cars. I don't mind transporting it in my truck; I just need something that's more convenient to use. But good idea.

yeah I don't have the space for that and I'd have to check with your buddy to see if he wants to drive to TX to pick up mine. :lol_hitti

haha! That's what I'm afraid of. 5-10 gals of oil spilled all over my truck bed. :mad: But a 5 gal. bucket sounds like the way to go.....I was just thinking that there must be some sort of specialized container available.......maybe not.

Have you used one? Do you like it? I haven't personally handled one yet but the reviews are all over the map. I'd have to get a few of them and I don't like the fact that they don't stack. I don't have a ton of space to store stuff.

You're missing the point here. I don't want the hassle of trying to dump an oil pan full of used oil back into a little 1 quart bottle......over and over again. Its a pain in the *** and it makes a mess. A 5 gal bucket would be ideal. That would make it super easy to dump the pan of used oil...

I do that now but its not ideal..... Some times its 12 individual 1 quart bottles per oil change! Cant always find the big 5 quart jugs of oil.

What are some options for used oil storage and transportation? I frequently have friends use my garage for oil changes and when you change the oil in a few Vipers you need a lot of storage! I've seen some chemical resistant 5 gal. buckets on McMaster Carr but I want to see if there might be...

Thanks! Haha! Good point. :thumbup:

Not exactly garage related but this took precedence over my 4 post lift (and cost is double the lift!). When we moved I tossed out my old beat up grill so now its time to upgrade. :) It should be completed this week but we are expecting to have some really bad weather this week. I hope that...

Here are a few pics of the mostly completed space. I'm very pleased with how this turned out. I still need to run my airline to the hose reel on the ceiling and I really want to get a 4 post lift. I'm probably going to hold off on the lift for the time being until all the uncertainty at the...

Work on the garage has slowed a bit due to lack of motivation. Times are really tough in the oil patch these days and that's bringing my mood and drive way down. After finishing the cabinets I quickly realized that sometimes I need more vertical space to work on larger items.....the wall...

I haven't updated anything in awhile and I really don't have much to update at this point. I was out of town 2 weekends ago; I took my 11 yr old son to Universal Studios in Florida for a surprise birthday trip. We had a great time but wow was it cold for Florida! So after doing everything...
