We are currently upgrading all of our lube rooms through our vender partnering program with Chevron. My wall totes will soon be replaced with new ones that will have multiple transfer hoses to avoid cross contamination. Filter systems will also be installed.

I was formerly on a clean up crew so I keep the lube room very clean. When the room was not kept up the operators wouldn't bother cleaning up spills but now they take care to keep it clean. I had more pictures to send that talk about our Master lube identification list, Noria lube-tips bulletin board articles, and more but only sent these due to the three picture limit.

The room also has all the safety requirements of course. (ventilation system, containment, spark free, fire extinguishers etc.) I do not use "oilsafe" containers as they get some contamination out on the lines and nobody keeps them clean.

I prefer the one shot jugs that can be thrown away. Our lube I.D. tags need to be attached anyway so the color code scheme isn't a factor. Cost is .83 each. Thanks for the consideration and keep up the great work !
