WTB: empty 5-gallon gas drums

Ok, I think $20 at Kragen is way to much to spend for a 5-gallon gas can. Does anyone in the bay area/san jose/monterey have some empty metal gas drums like the ones that you can buy 100 octane or other race gas in that they dont want? I'm looking for 2 or 3 of them. I'll take them off your hands free of charge even

or I'll pay ya ~$5 for each. TIA

There are dozens of those at Infineon kart track every weekend...free for your taking....but if you're desperate, I have 2 in my garage. One of them I use to keep old gas to clean my gokart..the other one is empty...their yours for free.

No karting event this weekend but there are always people practicing...using fuel of course and leaving their cans behind...Here's the number at Jim Russell Karting proshop, 707.938.9889...just give them a call and ask to put a few aside for you.
