Ron, it's almost empty. Definitely grab one. Also, what should we do with the empties? Bill said he could turn them in, or do we want an oil drain drum at the track?
I don't think my uncle needs any more. He purchased two 275 gallon tanks to hold oil for his furnace in addition to all the drums he has. Ron, I would recommend doing the same since the square tank is much more space efficient than the 5 drums it replaces. You'll need to buy a transfer pump, which you probably need anyways.
If you're gonna get oil from other shops, you're gonna need to transfer it from one barrel to another or the tank on the furnace. For that you'll need an electric transfer pump and I guarantee you won't want to do it by hand or pay someone for the time to do it by hand.
