Here are some places to try in the US (useless to me but maybe good for you) :) Product A. http://www.generalcontainer.com/displayCategory.asp?cat=3&subcat=12 I'd love to get my hands on these: http://www.containerlogix.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/25_38_45 /products_id/159 5gal tight head http://www.paramountcan.com/packaging.html Natural is better than white as you can see if the Mthoxide has disolved completely http://www.freundcontainer.com/plastic/pails/small_closed_head.html Scroll down http://www.ba-industrial.com/ppails.htm and I am adding this one to show ICB's, a 200gal plus HDPE cube already plumbed for a large fitting good for storage of BD or water that is gravity fed from rain water collection for sinks and toilets ect... in a rural setting.Might also be good for irrigation :) http://www.lennoxdrum.com/html/products___services.html
