You didn't mention what the liquid is. If it is a hazardous material as recognized by the International Fire Code then the 'empty' container is still considered full unless completely cleaned.

The empty container below is only there to act as a spill collection vessel. The question our office has been banging around, what is the storage height??? Would this be considered 5 feet of storage or 10 feet? Would you take any exception to the plastic containers (like when we change the commodity classification with wood to plastic pallets)?
