Bucket Tek Upgrade

Take this Tek and upgrade to [55gal%20Plastic%20Drum] with one of these [hayward-bfasseries_bulkheadfitting_bfas1020ces] Add a 3/4" barb to the bulkhead Add a 5psi PRV [PRV] to the 3/4" bung on the lid. Use a 2" PVC threaded adapter to add a T with 2x ball valves, one with a 3/4" barb, the other with an air hose quick connect (male) Use a 3/4" hose to connect the bulkhead barb to the barb on the lid. Using a compressor, we can now move ethanol from one vessel to the other by applying p…
