Back in the days when I made rail benders, rail, joiners, etc...I did buy steam oil in 5 gallon pails and re-package it in pints and quarts for resale. A word of caution...many of the local outlets for the major oil companies (Mobil, Chevron, etc) will sell you what is now "steam oil", but really is not! The viscosity is right, BUT, for our purposes, steam oil should contain some lard or tallow. The majority of the oil sold today does not contain either. They are formulated to be used in modern machinery and the benefits of tallow are no longer important. A few years ago someone in the NW was selling steam oil that did contain tallow, but it was not 'homogenized', and they seperated rather quickly...however, it was still satisfactory if you mixed it up again before using it. Keep your steam up! Walt
