    Neil I have no idea what they would sell for this one was bought at an auction where no one had any idea what the potential of one could be I think I got it for a hundred bucks, but would have gladly paid 3 times that.
    The floor is 1 piece smoot 1/4" thick aluminum. Sitting on the cross ties I figure it will be more than suitable for what I intend to do with it since the refinery system will weight about 800 lbs once I refurbish and up grade from what I got with the 600 gallons of oil. The guy had about the crudest set ups I have ever seen undersized centrifuge dodgy filtration and inadequate heating leaky pumps and a very labor intensive way of processing. He could only achieve a dark brown diesel like fuel and in no way was able to make bio diesel out of used vegetable oils since there was no provision for a blending step.
    It might take me another year to put together a system I will be comfortable with to run the diesel in a later model pickup but what he had would run in an older farm tractor just fine or my 90's era pickups
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    Does anyone have any idea what a shipping container would cost ? I would like to put one on my property if I could get the proper permit...sooo much stuff, and not enough room.

    A couple of questions: - where do you hail from, and are you talking about air freight containers or sea freight containers?

    Here in N. California they used to run about $1800-$2400 for 20' units. Not sure about ther 40' units because I never priced them. I say used to because covid got everything all balled up. Shipping dropped off due to reduced demand and the Chinese stopped making new ones so prices went way up. I eventually settled on a single use 20' unit for $5,000, i.e., one that made only one trip from China before being sold to me. Paint is good, doors open easily, and all I needed to do was slap on a padlock. It will eventually become my new shop.You'll find better prices buying from individuals but then you'll have to figure out how to transport it. I chose the 20' unit because when I move I can simply call my local towing service and they can winch it onto their flatbed.
