<VV> Re: [FC] A Better Oil Container?

[Gary]

My wife gets cat litter in these plastic containers at Wal-Mart which have a
wide mouth so you can see the oil level rise as you are dumping your waste
oil in. They work great, and I just take the waste oil back to Wal Mart in
them. Previously I was using 5 gallon containers from gear oil which I got
from a local garage. They worked OK as well but had a small opening so I had
to use a funnel to pour.
