Thank you for the excellent replies gents. I will avoid using the galvanized barrel for bio-diesel.
Also, I went out to take a closer look at the barrel (son and freind brought it home late last night) it is actually a neat, very heavy duty old thing.
About 60 - 75 gallons, heavy gauge steel, re-inforced ribs around the mid-section and re-inforce lips on the ends - looks like lots of hand welding. Also quality galvanization - thougt is has sat in the woods for decades at least, very little rust, mostly on the lips where it has been abraided.
Has what looks like a manufacture date stamped into it 5-16-15
