badflash, I know that a couple of times you have recommended that a person can get plastic barrels from a car wash ...... we have been looking for something to haul our drinking water in. My question is, since we want these for drinking water ...... how would you get the soapy taste out of them? Wont that taste stay with the plastic forever?

How do you clean them for fish, aren't the residual soap films toxic to the fish?
