Those IBC totes look like they would be great to have so long as they are clean. However with 175 gallons that would be 1,400 pounds so once they are filled they are not going anywhere. The problem would be getting them from Kentucky to the LEFT Coast.
Lexington company has some great products. A couple of years ago I found some of the Scepter water cans and they are great. At five gallons they are easy to more and store. Of course you can not store gas in them because they are not CARB compliant, yup California did it to you again.
