Oil is stored in extremely large tanks at that the refineries, typically 25k gallon tanks. They actually keep the tanks warm with steam by having steam circulate in pipes inside the tank. Then on the bottom of the tank is propellers that keep the oil churning.

I'll never forget the time my girlfriend went ballistic when she opened up the freezer and saw my M1 15W50 and RP 20W50 sitting all beautiful in there

I told her it was all good,I was doing a freezer test for BITOG

My shop is not insulated so it gets very hot in there. I picked up a old non working freezer off craigslist to store my oil and filters. I gutted it for the most part and build some shelves. Works fantastic and keeps a very consistent temp due to all the insulation.

Is this going to be the next BITOG fad? Buying wine coolers and storing oil in them?
