Structural risks?

Also have drums previously filled with canola oil for $10, or filled with vinegar for $25. Is either okay for ro/di and mixing station?
the drums fill w/ vinegar are "safe", we use vinegar to clean pumps and as sources of carbon like vodka. I would assume the oil would be ok if cleaned out good.

As for cutting the top off,I would say cut a small port, worst case it helps prevent evaporation and keep debris out of the water.
