    Lads, I have a milk cooling tank that I need to move on. Problem is I know nothing about these and don't want to get roasted on the price. It's a Packo but I cant see a capacity on it. Measurements are approx six and a half feet long four feet wide and three feet high, it's a half barrel shape and in good condition. Any estimate on it's value would be appreciated and where would I go to sell. Thanks again.

    sounds like a 800 gallon tank . how old is it , there should be a label on it showing age, size, serial number

    The label is very hard to make out but the tank is no more than five years old maybe a bit less even.

    I'd suggest holding on to it for another couple of years, post 2015 there is going to be a burst of dairy farming expansion, scrap stainless steel will be worth more.

    Your tank could be used by someone as a second tank, or your type of tank could be cut in half, and have a new section welded in to increase it's capacity.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    it could be a 1000 gallon made in 1996 and the next bit could be a serial number the 22 is the type of gas it runs on , i could be wrong about this

    it's approx 2m x 1.2m x 1m, thats 2.4metres cubed, 2,400 litres, and thats without allowing for the barrel shape. I reckon at the most it is 450 gallons? Are you sure the dimensions are correct OP?

    That would explain the OM/DX 1000 as in 1000 litres, as to the value scrap over £200 sterling
