Shop-Built Bulk Center Neatly Dispenses Oil

Shop-Built Bulk Center Neatly Dispenses Oil FARM SHOP Maintenance 22-4-38 "We made our own bulk oil dispenser that's neater and handier to use than any commercial system I've ever seen," says Joel Waldner, Lethbridge, Alberta. "First we built a tank out of 1/8-in. thick sheet metal. The tank is 12 ft. wide, 6 ft. high, and 2 ft. deep. We divided it into four interior compartments, then made a frame out of angle iron to mount the tank on the wall about 5 ft. high. Each compartment is fitted with a tap at the bottom. A 2-in. drip tray runs the full width of the tank to catch any spillage. The drip pan slopes to one end where there's a tap for draining spilled oil off into a pail. "We use it to hold four different oils. A sight gauge on each compartment lets you see at a glance how much oil is left."
