Re: [Biofuel] Pumping WVO from tanks
Most restaurants also have things like pickle barrels around - WVO goes into those well and they seal.

Re: [Biofuel] Pumping WVO from tanks
You can get those nice white 5 gallon buckets, with nice tight lids, free from super-markets with bakeries or deli's...ask them or dive into their dumpster. Just leave a few with the restaurant...maybe they can even leave them inside where they stay warm. This way the oil doesn't get mixed up with whatever is in the tank 'out back'.

Re: [Biofuel] Pumping WVO from tanks
Collecting WVO I collect with barrels but they are heavy, you have to have a crane to load them. The better way is to get the reataurant to filter the waste into their collecting pail and then when the WVO is cool, pour it back into the original container. Much easier to handle.

Re: [Biofuel] Pumping WVO from tanks
I use 5 gal plastic buckets to dip the tank. Transport it home and filter it into the reactor. Not the only way but it works for me. The other concern at this time of year is the cold, the oil may not resemble oil when cold if you can walk on it, it is vary hard to pump. Last winter when I started this venture I used a shovel to collect the wast.
