Thanks. I contacted this guy and he is going to sell me the white 55 gallon drums for $20 each. He works at Ft. Belvoir, which is much closer than his home in Purceville. The containers previously contained soy sauce and he said they are extremely easy to clean with a power washer. I am meeting him tomorrow at Ft. Belvoir to pick them up.

That's gonna stink!!! I can't imagine that smell will come out of there anytime soon. At least the Dr.Pepper and Mt.Dew syrup smelled good...

You are probably right. Hopefully the smell will fade. I am not in a rush to use the drums within the next few weeks, so I will take my time and wash multiple times.

That's a good find. I rinsed mine out, then soaked them with Clorox and water for 3 days... still smelled like Dr. Pepper, but that smell is gone now.
