Degrease Tank

I use 50 to 100 gallon tanks galvanized and rubber both from L&M supply and have had no issues

 

What’s wrong with some rubber maid trash cans , u can put the wheel cart on to even move them around. Take a pretty wide buck not to fit in it .

 

If you're gun shy about using the trash can, you could always use a 55-gallon poly drum. Walls are much thicker and can typically get used ones really inexpensive.

 

The ones I had were heavy duty Rubbermaid stock tanks. I had bought them at a local feed store/farm supply place. I have one that is empty now. If there is a number on the bottom I'll see if I can copy it.

 

Seems to be this but the number on the bottom of mine is just 4247. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/rubbermaid-structural-foam-stock-tanks-300-gal-capacity It might be slightly different as I have had these now for over 14 years and I thought they were 350 gallon tanks. The photos appear to be the same. Admittedly, water has never frozen in them but they, so far, have been sturdy as hell. A lot of things have been in and out of them and, when I had one that was not in use, I found other uses for it.

 

I have galvanized tubs for other uses and it is several years before I see them start to develop rust .... EXCEPT if you use ammonia. Strong Ammonia seems to destroy the zinc coating on the metal even though it indicates that it is ok on this site. You can attach a garden hose to it but you will have to make an adapter from PVC threaded parts. The drain plug thread is larger than a garden hose. You could find the proper male threaded part and attach a larger hose with a clamp as well.

 

I doubt they would take it back. Galvanized water troughs normally begin to rust almost immediately. I've replace dozens of then used as watering troughs for cattle. Their advantage is that cattle don't destroy them as quickly by crowding into them as plastic troughs. The only permanent water trough for cattle is concrete or old steam boilers cut in half!
