Abstract
A composite container for storing flammable and combustible liquids. The container includes a generally rigid outer container having upright continuous side walls and a substantially flat top wall. One of the side walls includes an access opening adjacent to the base of the wall. A unitary blow molded plastic inner tank is positioned inside of the outer container which maintains the inner tank in its upright position when the tank is filled with a liquid. A discharge fitting of the tank is positioned adjacent to the access opening to facilitate the discharge of liquid from the tank. A cover coacts and engages the access opening to seal the outer container against the leakage of liquid from the tank. The outer container and inner tank are supported on a pallet member having a top surface and depending legs which are spaced apart to enable the extension of fork lift tines therebetween.
