storage

can aperson store used motor oil in large poly tanks ? same tanks used for chemicals on the farm. i can get a 1000 gal. tank very reasonable if i want it . but am wondering about if the oil will hurt it .

I had a 275 gal one (skid mounted) with a mix od diesel and used motor oil in it for many months at a time with no issues.

HDPE Plastic containers can handle used motor oil with no issues.

Should not be a problem

Just mounted 2-250 gallon fuel oil tanks up high on a pallet rack(rated for 18,000 lbs). Now I can just open the valve and fill up the deuce. Using a pump to fill them.

hey guys, i'm new to wvo (haven't installed yet) and would like to know if wvo and/or other waste oils can be stored in a fiberglass storage tank. i can get a really good deal on a 1200 gallon bulkheaded tank from a guy who ran a (lawn/landscape) fertilizing co. and sold out to lawn doctor. this tank was reconditioned just prior to the sale and never filled with anything. according to this guy lawn doctor will only buy the business (customer base) not any equipment and/or trucks... therefore they don't need it and he's relocated as well as signed a no compete contract. any reply and/or advice will be greatly appreciated. thanks, have a good one.
