    I like the footprint on the Vertical Batch Tanks. Jim what kind of lid on it bolt-on lid or hinged lid?

    Dimentions are 28in in diameter and 45in tall - the lid on top is screw on and it has a breather valve built into it. The footprint is what I like too cause floor space is at a premium
    Going to be a pain flushing it out, drilling it, etc but once it's ready it will be a big help

    Very cool storage barrel. Wish vendors sold them locally to not have to pay the ridiculous shipping costs.

    I got lucky and the tank was sitting in Iowa not far from Chicago so it was delivered by a delivery service. Had I needed to have UPS deliver it I couldn't have bought it because the delivery charge would have been over $200 (more than the tank itself)
