Regarding 30 gallon drums - I used to own a fast lube auto center and grease and gear lube was packaged in those. When they were empty I gave them away. - so you might check auto service shops.

Thien Cyclone Separator Lid Discussion / Re: New to DC - have a question

I'm using a 30 gallon garbage can with a domed lid, and it works good.
I'm using a Craftsman shop vac as the sucking source, and the only problem I have is that if I block the flow too much the garbage can sides and lid sucks in. I put some additional supports between the lid and the baffle to keep the lid from caving in. The sides sucking in doesn't seem to affect the function of the separator, but I'm trying to figure out a stiffener for cosmetic reasons.
I used some vinyl tubing glued to edge of the can lid as a gasket to seal the lid to the can.
