Thread Name: PLEASE defend OIL DRUMS
Subject: RE: BS: PLEASE defend OIL DRUMS
Hmmm...
A bit of a check up on 44 (Imperial) gallon drums, a while back, reminded me that Imperial : US gallons is not precisely 4 : 5.
55 US gallons is ~ 208 litres (OK - 208.197), while 44 Imperial gallons is almost exactly 200 litres (200.024) ... leading me to wonder if that saw the "original" design size!
Of course, if you find the developed steel drum too cerebral, you could try a search on (~) Les Tombeurs du Bronx ... a stage full of perspring French maniacs beating untuned old rums with baseball bats. (And their website was almost as good ... )
