Buffalo, MN | We are in need of making our own oil drum rack. Would anyone care to share what they have built to store their 55 gal drums of oil? |

SW Ohio | On my second one, first was outgrown, second is getting there.
only found one picture, not good one but you can see three drums, rack is made of 2 3/8 oil pipe, enough room under valves to set 2 1/2 gal jug on drain rack which is a foot wide and long as the barrels, U=trough covered with hog flooring with a drain cock, behind trough is a box with hinged on top lid for funnels and cans-the clean box--underneath is way too many buckets, jugs and a homemade GL5 dispenser, switch out drums with a forklift or skidder or sometimes pump new oil in, use 2" valves with 1.5" elbows to fit in jugs, top vent is 3/4 valve

N. IL | We used the stand from a old overhead gas barrel. Don't have the pics, but can get two 55 gallon barrels on the bottom and two more up top. We also built a shelf about two feet below the top rack to hold jugs, funnels, caps, etc. We have a catch pan on the floor with a heavy screen to hold the jugs while filling. Make sure you put the stand where you have good lighting, it is easy to overfill the jugs because it is too dark to see inside it!
It works well and those stands are all over the place. We had several of those stands and use them for steel racks as well. |
