Finally getting ready to build my shop. Inspector is allowing me to install floor drains in shop but says I need an oil separator. I am piping floor drains to the side of building. So a separator will be outside of the shop and buried next to the building. Building is 40x65, and I can't imagine squeegeeing water from one end to the other, to get water out the garage door.

Has anyone fabricated something and if so, any ideas would be great. The inspector said a plastic 55 gallon barrel could be made to capture the water from the floor drains.
BTW I am on a septic system, and also do not want to contaminate it, or the ground.

Thanks
Sean
