The water in the drum weighs in at 15kilo's don't know what the weight of your drum is.
1 ltr water = 1kg in weight.

Its the metric system and it's very well designed, it's all based on our fingers and thumbs, because we have 10 of them, so everything is in tens!!!! :)

no.
Number base twelve is better, divisible by 6,4,3, and 2. What you got Luke 2 and 5?

Other popular  number bases include bakers dozen, a long weight, and a window cleaners month.

But you'll find out about that soon enough.

16kg was going to be the max weight for containers under the EU directive. They changed their mind  :)
25kg is heavy and makes you waddle one sided unless your a real man and can carry two at a time.
I now prefer 10L
