Reply:Usually 18 gauge.GravelThe difference between theory and practice is that in theory there is no difference.

Reply:Seems like drums are indeed 2 different thicknesses.Years ago, you could tell the difference when using them for Scrap barrels as you weighed them before filling.Even the guy at the scrap yard could look at it and see if the weight you had on it was realistic.Not so much anymore.Lot of the Coolant and Motor Oil drums are as thin and cheap as possible.
