Abstract
A container for bulk liquid storage consisting of a tank member with lifting surfaces and a pallet having downwardly facing surfaces. The lifting surfaces and the downwardly facing surfaces are substantially in vertical alignment with each other and interfit together with removably mounted structural members in between them to hold the tank member and the pallet together. The tank member is structured to thoroughly drain through a discharge port without any additional action by the user. The container is made from a corrosion resistant material and is easy to assemble and disassemble.
