M107 1953 "water" trailer Paint/liner

[SSG Gibb]

So I've got this M107 it's in good shape for the years it's been around. I planned on using it to store my WMO but am concerned that the "Paint" lining that is flaking up will melt mix in with gasoline, kerosine, tranny fluid ETC. Has anyone had any experience in this department? Any help would be GREATLY Appreciated.

If it's already flaking, the VOCs will only accelerate the process. Get some of those super cheap 330 gallon IBCs for your oil.

Thanks NDT for the heads up. is there any way to get this stuff "paint" out so I can use the pod for fuel?
What's wrong Steve, are/were you thinking of doing the same thing? Or don't you like the idea of using the trailer for Fuel?

No, I wuz' jus' disappointed with NDT's answer. 'member I'm clean diesel.

Jack says forestry used them all the time for off road gas and diesel in the woods. He saw the trailer before I picked it up.
