live in Southern California, I have hundreds that I can sell you.
Otherwise, search for industrial plastic suppliers. The best price on 1
gallon HDPE jugs for a pallet is about $0.70 each, more expensive if
you purchase less than a pallet. A pickup truck can transport a pallet (96
cases), but you may want to have on hand bulk plastic wrap to split the
pallet. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>You need a bung wrench and a good drum
pump. Don't get an electrical pump, just a lever hand pump (safety).
An alternative is to get a tap to decant the drum when it is on its side.
Don't get a siphon type pump. You will not have the control you
need. McMaster-car has drum accessories. You will want to decant the
entire drum into the gallon jugs. You do not want to decant over a long
period of time because the head space will expose the fuel to a lot of moisture
in the air. I like to fill each jug up to almost the top,
leaving no head space. The methanol draws in moisture from the air, so you
want to expose it to air as little as possible. The cap plus provide a
much better air-tight seal than the plastic screw caps.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=385365201-17092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

savings does not justify the trouble of 1) transporting and storing jugs, 2)
filling jugs, 3) receiving drums, 4) recycling 54 drums. If you think you
can get around all of this, then try it. It is not that difficult. I
successfully mixed my own fuel in vast quantity. I still have a bunch, and
it works great. But it is a lot of labor, and overall the effort is
not worth the savings.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=385365201-17092005><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>On
that note, if anybody is interested in a really nice pneumatic
bung-entering-drum-mixer, I have a dandy that I would like to sell. It
mixes 54 gallons of fuel in a drum like a milkshake in a blender.
