I have access to a few 55 gallon drums that were used for hydraulic fluid and motor oil. I would like to put up a couple filled with gasoline. Is there any problem mixing the gasoline with the leftover oil?<br><br>Regards<br>Bruce<br><br>

The biggest problem in storing gasoline is the explosive nature of the vapors, flammable if it leaks, and rapidly degrades unless treated.<br>The answer to the question you asked is dependent on what you want to do with the gas after it is stored. If you just want to make a few molotov cocktails, then it is ok. If you want to use it in a modern fuel injected high performance car, I would spend the few extra bucks and buy a couple of NEW drums from a dealer.<br>Obviously, gasoline can be stored and shipped in 55 gallon drums, witness WWII.<br><br>Jeffery S.
