A few years ago I had the same issue in the back of a Volvo.
I put down a pond liner, then layed up fibreglass over the top. When set, it was a perfect boot moulding. A bit of trimming here and there and a coat of left over epoxy floor paint and it ended up looking very smart.
-
Nice, that's a great idea :)
-
i thought about that reckless, , but it will need to come out, and the hole isnt as big as the inside.
it will only be used for an hour on a friday so needs to fold away.
off to buy a pond liner, thanks for the tip ;)
-
I used a table cloth (pvc type thing) for our last car.
Now i just try to stop it dripping out the bottom, least the neighbours raise eyebrows...

joined everything with proper hinges.......

One problem
If you do get a spillage, it's gonna spill out of the boot end >:(
-
I don't get spillages :o.
when I collect the drums the lid is wrapped in pallet wrap so they cant leak
this is just to stop the dirt transferring from the bottom and the sides of the drums
-
I don't get spillages either
Just look at my drive ;D
-
As soon as I posted that I thought "I f****** jinxed myself now".
like I said it's more the s*** on the bottom of the drums with chefs can't get oil through a 12 inch opening. luckily I don't deal with cubbies just 60's and the most I ever collect any time is 5 so they all lock each other in place.
Famous last words.....

liner works well
but does it come with the fat bearded bloke to put it in and out or was that an extra ?
:P ;D :P
-

low initial payment but the running costs are astronomical
;D
-

Good work there Ged.
Would you mind adding the photos and some text it to this page ... http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/Oil_collecting_made_a_little_easier on the wiki please, I'm sure many people would want to replicate it.
The page is still work in progress that I forgot about some time back ... I must get round to sorting it out, but if anyone else has any contributions they would be gratefully received.
-
not a problem, how do i do it mate?

It's really not that difficult to pick up.
Upload your photos using the "Upload file" link in the left hand menu. Just follow the instructions, it' self explanatory.
Then go to the page and click edit. It's probably best if you put all the photos into a gallery and give a brief explanation under each photo. So look at the bit of code that makes the gallery at the top of the page which starts ... "Photos probably best explain the various ideas used by members when collecting and storing oil"
Copy all of that bit and paste it at the bottom of the page. You can then go through and replace the photo file names with your own and alter the text to what you want. Any problems post up on here and we can help.
