not that much of a price break, it used to be a good chunk of change but recently( last year or 2) 55 gal barrel prices went up.
I think you would save maybe 200 bucks if you buy it local.
we looked at buying a 55 gal drum of qcut 250 and it was around 1200 I believe
however dont look at it that way look at it this way and you will save more.
get a automixing valve that the hose screws on directly to the valve and plugs into the barrel. you will save probably 10 gallons of coolant concentrate this way.
when we mix it by hand we tend to over do it, so every time you mix it you add to much. with a auto mixing valve and the right orfice size you can always add the correct amount to keep your adjustment corrected for evaperation.
there used to be about a 1/3 savings from buying a drum to 11 buckets, not anymore
in the long run your going to save money, plus save time from mixing which all adds up.
