We found it wasn't worth the saving for road derv, quite often it worked out slightly dearer but was more convenient, you need to buy in huge volume to save on it.

If you mean lube oil I have two Samoa pump delivery systems. I tend to buy 3 or four big barrels as its cheaper than getting a bulk delivery. I recently bought comma semi synthetic multifleet 15/30 for £1 a litre.

When I ran an Ag Machinery business I bought UFO in bulk, a big 600 ltr tank.

 

It was the worst move I ever made.

 

The mechanics would take about 20 minutes filling 20 litre cans to go out on a tractor service (lot of oil in a back end!) and time is money. Also there often was not enough time in the day, I needed them out of the yard early.

 

And then one of them left the can filling while he went for a leak, but the leak turned into an emergency dump, and we lost around 100 litres over the stores floor.

 

Went back to 20 litre cans, it worked out far cheaper.

We have been through the exact same thing several times. I bought a samoa pumped system with triggers that measure the volume. You can set it for 20 litres and walk away. The other advantage to your method is you always have nice new clean cans on site.

I only use 5litre cans now in my garden machinery business. A little more expensive to buy, but saves a lot of time in decanting. The time saving far outways the cost of the oil.

If you mean engine oil,hydraulic oil etc, "Witham Oils"of Lincoln are the only people I know of,that supply separate tanks. Look at their website.
