25kg plus a few grammes for the barrel , i.e. 1litre water = 1kg

Steve,
Those containers can hold 3 or 4 litres more if filled to the top. I would recon on about 30kg each.

I do fill them right to the top. It looks like my car can legally take the weight.
Thanks

Well 10x25L of water equals 250L which is approximately a quarter of a ton.

Second that..

The barrels will hold near to 30 litres when full, so count about 30KG per barrel.
