Title: 25 litre drums
Post by: Stephen burton on March 23, 2019, 02:51:12 pm: Hi guys
I’m in desperate need of some 25 litre drums or anything else that can store water, my van is in the garage Monday and Tuesday so will be using my back pack but only have 2 containers, where can I buy something that’s not online any ideas?

Gumtree? Friday ads? a tropical fish keeper on Gumtree sold me 10 blue 25 litre containers a couple of years ago, I rarely use them. Before this I bought mine from a caravan shop but paid quite a bit for what they are. Where are you based? I'm in Bristol and would happily lend you some if close enough

Failing that try a couple of car wash places or farmers

Our local farmers merchants sell them as well.

That works out at about £15 a drum. Thats mental.

If you go Mole Valley Farmers you can get 20 litres of Hypo in a 20 litre drum for £11.00 including V.A.T.

£15 for 1 drum, jeez, some pople!

Post by: Slacky on March 24, 2019, 05:16:22 pm: Ok, £75, I’ve just checked.

Just goes to show, what a rip-off when you can get 6 barrels and 120 litres of hypo for £66.00.
