Empty race fuel barrel

[ThrottleOps]

Hey guys I am looking for an empty race fuel barrel or two. I currently only have. 5 gallon one that I get filled with av gas but I would like to be able to keep more fuel on hand as it is a bit out of the way for me to get it!

most airports I've dealt with will fill barrels no problem. I've had barrels filled at Whitecourt, Stettler, Peace River, Rocky.

I have a VP barrel that's been in my yard for years...... you can have it if you want?

Jordan from VP in Calgary sells new barrels for $75 each but be prepared for a sales pitch as to why VP is better than AV Gas.

I have run into an issue with my local airport that they will NOT fill used drums; due to new Transport Canada regs that came in last year. Story I got was that a chopper up north went down due to contaminated fuel from a drum. Now they will only sell you brand new sealed drums, or fill a slip tank equipped with a pump and filter.

The fuel place at villenuve airport will fill anything.

ive never had a problem. If you use a 100LL barrel, they are lined with a tan apoxy and it is very easy to see water and contaminates in them with a flashlight. Would I take a used plastic drum that used to have car wash soap in it to get filled....not likely. Bigger airports=more rules?
Rocky airport will drop the nozzle straight into my Camaro lol
