I am wondering what people think about using a DEF fluid 55 gallon plastic barrel for water for a couple pigs? While I know this may not be ideal, I am having a hard time finding a food grade blue barrel in my area. Many that I am coming across, the owners are not sure what came in them and the restaurants in my area that may have had food grade items shipped in them are not open to selling or giving me a couple. My local feed store has several barrels that contained DEF fluid for their trucks. At least they know what was in them. The fluid is a mixture of de-ionized water and urea. Urea is of course used in fertilizer and probably on a lot of our fields and farms. I don't have the pigs yet and am still working on getting my set up ready to get pigs, so I still have some time before I need the waterer. I am wondering if a good scrubbing would remove any residue that might be in there, and they would be fine for drinking water for the pigs. Anyone use one of these barrels?
Thanks,
Rob
