The original clean new unused ones cost a fortune. In the 100s of Euro range. Seen them advertised before. You best bet is Donedeal.:D
I worked for a company in Dublin before that got a raw material delivered in them. A full container cost 7000euro and that was over 15 years ago.

Jesus, they're on DD from €30-€50, If your looking for a few I'd say no bother getting them for €40 for the better cleaner looking ones.

How would that be a rip off ??

Not being smart but, how do you know what was in them? Lads will always tell you there was food grade stuff in them. Easy make up a label.

I'm looking for a black IBC tank for rainwater harvesting if anyone knows where to get them besides the website mentioned above? €350 is steep for something I'm going to cut holes in. Wicklow/Carlow area.

That's what I've done myself. There could have been acid in them for all you know . Powerwash a few times, to be sure.

Why black? Could you spray paint a white one black?

Because I bought them from a good friend that works in the warehouse that ships the tanks to a certain company.
But your right about not knowing what was in it previously. a fella that works with me bought a couple on done deal that had "food grade" in them. It wasn't until he got home and opened the top and got the smell. It was some sort of chemical in it. Lesson learned there.

So if you search hard enough and buy of reccomended people you should get good ones. I would happily pay 100 for a genuine one. No point paying 40 for one and having to bloody power hose the crap out of it to get it clean or eventually dumping it
