Glenn, closest I can find is a VP fuel dealer in Newark , Delaware. Maybe he can meet at Atco opening or someone coming from the Gators can pickup. S&K has 5 gallon pails but not sure what product. I am sure the number is no bargain.

I would look into the law before putting a 55gal drum in your trailer!!!

I spent some time with DOT over the summer and asked a lot of questions as we pull our race trailer with my semi truck.

If your rig is over 10,000 pounds fuel must be transported in sealed, secured 5 or 8 gal containers without hazmat. There's also a limit on how much. I can't remember exactly but it was well below 55gal.

I was told motor sports and horse transporters were gonna be high on DOT's radar this year.

Buy a 55 Gallon drum to keep in your shop and then carry as many 5 gallon jugs as you need for the racing trip you're going on. I usually carry four with me.

Correct on container size, but the fuel weight limit is 440 pounds which is more than 55 gallons would weigh.
