Where to get 5gal metal fuel cans?

Haven't been able to find these. I have a WVO source, but they drain hot. Ideally, I could give them a couple 5gal 'Jerry' cans to put the WVO in for me, will save me pumping out of the barrel out back.

I'm in Chandler, AZ.

Thanks,

Adam

Military Surplus. You want a military one with a wider opening than a gas gan. Think REAL HARD on how your supplier or you is going to get this hot oil into your storage vessle safetly as well as trasport it safely. Maybe a metal 5 gallon Milk can?

I agree. Military surplus is where I found my cans.

Now I wouldn't want to be the one pouring it into the can!

Cheers,

Here are some for $10 or so, maybe that is what you are looking for?
They are a reputable company for buying surplus, I deal with them quite a bit.

If you are gonna get a couple don't wait too long the inventory at that place changes quiet often and you never know when they are gonna run out of a certain item.
