I see these repurposed quite a bit for various things, one being used oil storage.

FAIR WARNING! they are meant to be disposable, they are NOT UV light resistant, after a year outside the plastic becomes very brittle and doesn't take much to break or crack. I've had 2 go bad this year, a friend has had 4, luckily no spillage occurred. The first one, I stepped on, my foot went right through...

Don't want to see someone have to clean up a 275 gallon spill of waste oil......

You say "disposable"? Where do you dispose of them? I know farmers that have dozens of them. Recycling centers won't take them because of chemical in them.
