 The Drum 55-Gallon and 5-Gallon as Petroleum Containers, 1952   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The 55-gallon drum has the advantage of savings in manpower and manhours required for handling, is more durable, is more easily stored and inventoried, reduces pilferage of both containers and product, is potentially less wasteful of products, and is cheaper on a volume basis.
In most cases, the transfer of fuel from the drums is by hand pump, and the hand pump most commonly used is the reciprocating plunger type lift pump which is an integral part of the water trailer.
The inherent waste in the drum appears to be less than that associated with the 5-gallon can, but the actual waste with the drums is somewhat greater as result of improper handling and dispensing techniques.

It is interesting however that 85 gallons is apparently a US nominal capacity as that is exactly the figure one reaches by proportionality from the 55 gallon size assuming that Ric measured his dimensions externally.

Also, some stock 55-gallon drums have bungs with small, deliberate leaks to prevent overpressures.
