60lt drums

[Any_Weather]

Guy's, does anyone know if people still use 60lt drums for anything. The reason I ask is I have been trying to get my hands on a couple for transporting fuel to Fraser Island for a fishing adventure. I have 4 already but was after a couple more. The ones I have, I got from a panel beater last year and they are good thick thinners drums but this year every where I go say they now use 20lt drums for Health and Safety reasons. Does anyone know where I might get my hands on any around the Northside of Brissy.

Thanks
Lee

mate there is a mob by the name of tilkey not sure on the spelling here in warwick that sells all sizes of drums, they have shops in other places but not sure where, why not get a tank made to suit

[Any_Weather]

Caveman, thanks mate will look them up. I cant use a tank as it is for extra boat fuel and with the 60's they are small enough to manhandle on syphon into the boat.
Thanks

If it's any help I'm going up to Warwick on Tuesday and coming back before the week-end. I can pick them up if they're suitable.
I may have a metal one under the house up there. I'll have a gander.
I'm on the southside.

60 ltrs is 10 ltrs too much legally to be brought onto the island!
50 ltrs max stored fuel!
