oil drum

Crude storage cylinder

An oil drum is a large cylindrical metal container used for storing and transporting oil and other liquids, typically holding about 55 gallons (200 liters).

Oil drums are often repurposed after their original use—cut in half for barbecue grills, used as planters, or played as steel drums in Caribbean music.
