Does smoke come out of your ears when you think? It does mine. I have to swing the windshield open a little more to let it out.

You may hate me for this but, Harbor Freight has an air pump, and it's not expensive. It is designed to screw into the top of a plastic or metal drum. (2 different sizes on one pump) You screw it in one hole at the top of the barrel and keep the cap on the other hole. It has a nipple to connect an air line to and pressurize the drum, thus forcing the contents out. VERY IMPORTANT FACT! - A plastic drum only needs around 10 (YES TEN) or less lbs of pressure to do the job. If you get the pressure too high, it's like a balloon, it will pop, or should I say EXPLODE! I would set the pressure on your source compressor to 10 (THAT"S TEN lbs or less)

Keep that in mind with whatever you do! Or you may have to change your name to bubba splattered all over you!

Thinking is a very good thing to do, but you must carry the thought to a logical conclusion.

[FONT=&quot]Lol well you are correct that 60 would be to fast for that but like I said I plan to start slow. I simply said 60 because that was what popped in to my head at the time. But I still maintain that I think the tank would hold 60 psi if I asked it to…….if I asked really nicely with a smile. Lol [/FONT]

Correct! Your tank may hold more pressure than a drum. How much more, you need to know. I'm just a guy who lets somebody else air up my split rims, while I stand on the other side of the building.

Those plastic drums will strip the threads on the bungs before they explode. If that weren't the case, I'd put my money on the poly drum holding more pressure than a steel drum. However, it'll look pretty funny all swollen up.

I got some free drums at the car wash...they just gave them to me.

If you want to get the uptown sluts, you need a flashy set of wheels. They dig the power steering, and the spring seat makes them wild.

I'm leaning towards buying a multi-fuel after reading this thread however.

A3? Dude! Isn't that Power Steering and a Allison Automatic? Pretty uptown sled you're driving there. I'm driving the truck my daddy used to have to walk to school in the snow in.

On the right side of my engine block, both on the White LDT-465-1, and the Continentals it says "Multifuel" Also, on the panel, there's a placard that says what not to run as fuel. I know the new Deuces, those Cabover looking things with the four 16's will only run on a certain fuel. I don't remember what it is, but the Cat engines in them are not Multi-fuel. Maybe yours was one of the first, or last, whichever, that would actually run on diesel. Maybe diesel will get real cheap.

Sweet set-up, and nice snag on free drums. Those have a $25 deposit.
