I would recommend calling the buyer at SAM’S Club in Bentonville, AR and asking them if they can order a 55-gallon drum, or tote as a special order item for your club, and if so, what the cost would be.

You’d be surprised what SAM’S Club is interested in doing for a member. Plus, there may be a lot of demand for a product like this. If so, they would love the excellent idea as well.

I think if you call the 800 number and ask they buyer to get back with you they will. Make sure you have the item number of the 35 lbs of oil for the 800 number people so they can get the question to the right buyer.

Good Luck

Is all vegetable oil non-conductive? Reason I’m asking is because I have a project I’m working on that involves just under 10 gallons of mineral oil, but the 5 gallon options for that are near 90 dollars.

Also, when the oil does turn rancid, does it congeal or lose any of its conductive properties?

can you simply run a diesel out of the above oil at sams club or do you have to do something to it??? What about in the winter? Do you ad something to it in order to keep the viscosity high?

Larry – How about working with one of those companies? When I was looking, the first thing I did was call a few businesses in my area that dealt with large quantities of oil. For the most part, they were happy to refer me to their suppliers. Also, what about contacting the suppliers for Sams Club and the others? That oil has to be coming from somewhere.

Silvia – I don’t think it would do you any good to give you the distributors names (I’ve forgotten them anyway). They were all local to the Dallas Fort Worth area.

Your info was helpfull, but I think looking at the “club stores” still dosn’t help me. I have a diesel RV and what I’m trying to find is where I can buy the oil is 55 gal drums. I would think the price should drop drastically by buying in that big of bulk. I am doing internet searches daily, but still havn’t found what I’m looking for. The used oil deal is all but over, a lot of new “company’s” have managed to tie that source up. These bio-diesel company’s are buying all of the used oil up and are refining and reselling it to the public, unfortunately their prices (after refining and shipping) are not much better than diesel at the pump.
