    I would think that it would need to be empty. Also where are you going to dump the grease if it is full?

    Is that a payphone case next to the grease trap?
    I know lying is wrong, but if the elephant man came in now in a blouse with some make up on, and said, "How do I look?" Would you say, bearing in mind he's depressed and has respiratory problems, would you say, "Go and take that blusher off you mis-shapened elephant tranny?" No. You'd say, "You look nice... John""

    Lmao. Yes it is. Was trying to exclude it from the pic. I own payphones as a small business.

    Your yard will probably require a good sized hole in the tank or cut in half.

    BTW the yard I go to is ecology wrecking. These guys have every imaginable thing to scrap. They scrap eveything and they got their own grinder machine thingy. They also use torches to cut dowb trains like freight trains

    Wow as much as I thought my normal yard would take it. They didn't! Anyways I drove right across the st and their compeititor took it. I stopped going to the competition because their pricing was a lot less compared to my normal yard. But I guess each has their own pros and cons
