Project: Shipping Container Garage - Grassroots Motorsports
Jan 29, 2014 — While cruising the internet I've found tons of ideas for creating a garage out of shipping container. In fact, it's almost like a Goldilocks and the three bears story. Too small. . . Too damn big and impractical (for the kind of land we're looking at). . . But then I started stumbling upon better looking more practical ideas.
Shipping container for longer term car storage? - Grassroots …
Jan 6, 2018 — I did this exact thing in L.A. The parking lot was big so the owner let me put a 40' container on it which I used as a garage/storage. When I left for the summers I would put two cars in it. In L.A. it wasn't bad because it didn't rain much. The …
Storing gas in the hot garage - Grassroots Motorsports
Jun 30, 2015 — rotard wrote: Don't worry about it; the container can handle it. That's good to hear, thanks. But in thinking about it, the best solution is to just empty the darn can! The only reason I have the can is to fill the bike. (It has a 1-gallon tank, and is a total pain to fill at a gas pump.) The bike isn't being ridden now, because 115F!
Just how fresh is that fuel, anyway? - Grassroots Motorsports
Aug 5, 2024 — "Santner offers an additional storage tip: Keep that cap tightly closed. A loose cap–or even drum pump–can allow the vapors to escape, causing the fuel to go stale. As long as the container remains tightly sealed, he explains, any vapors will condense back into a liquid phase, maintaining the fuel’s freshness." The above is extremely ...
Learn me "using tractor trailors as storage" - Grassroots Motorsports
Aug 16, 2011 — Once a bare container has a box of feathers in it I can't think of anyone that will touch it except a 200' shipyard crane. I've seen step vans as big as 24' but not common. Once you get over 18-20' the P30 chassis is overtaxed. You can get the freightliner or workhorse chassis up to 24' but they're more expensive. What about a FEMA trailer?
Kitty litter jugs as fluid containers - Grassroots Motorsports
Mar 24, 2018 — Even if you don't have a cat, you should have some kitty litter in the garage for cleaning up oil spills, etc. Don't buy the stuff in bags--get the stuff in jugs, like this: The jugs are great as temporary/disposable fluid containers. Forget to dispose of your old oil after the last change and need the drain pan for the next change?
It’s a Trap! Walmart Mobil 1 content. - Grassroots Motorsports
Mar 29, 2020 — I rescued two of them from the trash and now I empty my drain container into those and then take them to the store to dump into the big tank in the back. They have a super-wide mouth, they seal completely, they're mostly square so they're easy to secure for transport or keep on a shelf, and the handle is large and comfortable for carrying.
Is There An Oil Catch Pan That Doesn't Suck? - Grassroots …
Oct 29, 2013 — Where I make a mess, generally speaking, is trying to offload the oil from the drain pan into the transporting vessel (milk jug, 5 quart oil bottle, orange juice container, you-name-it). Trying to balance a funnel in a transport vessel is a bit hairy. And...the air …
DEF fluid - Shelf life? - Grassroots Motorsports
Nov 9, 2020 — • Fluid in drums and totes are more susceptible to contamination since at times the container will be open to the atmosphere as dispensing equipment will be removed and installed • Minimize the time the bung hole is left open • Be sure the dispensing equipment is clean before inserting it into the drum or tote
Heating a small detached garage office without dying.
Sep 3, 2024 — The heater in the box is probably not the best option for you. Best option would be to mount the unit outside in a metal container, and then run both the heat and cold air return into your office space. You want to draw the cold air return from the same space you are heating. The "12V battery and a maintainer" is a great option.
