How do you store your fluids etc?

[Ashley Burton]

I literally have a shelf of bottles/containers of brake fluid, brake cleaner, WD40, gear oil, anti-freeze, chalk, silicone, glue, greases & other fluids etc

But its getting to the point that its becoming a little bit messy & unorganised. So thinking of making some pull out draws with everything sorted into a home of it own!

But always interested to hear what other people do with their garage environment

I store mine in a separate shed in sections to help with faster access, Also it helps with keeping explosive things away from welding and grinding, I do have some boxes with silicones and glues in to make it quicker to take them out on jobs.

I try and keep tidy as i hate wasting time looking for something i have to buy again. I would be a pain to live with though..

I use an old metal office cupboard, think it came from my sisters school, also useful for my collection of rally stickers

Nice rally stickers i tried to keep as many posters and stickers as possible over the years, I do need a good place to display them.

I failed the test to get into MI5 along time ago by forgetting to leave my laptop on the train..

I use 4 drawer filing cabinets. Proper office types take a massive amount of weight

I converted 2 double wardrobes by adding shelves, one for paint & the other for oils. I thought I had plenty of room when I made them but they are now both overflowing! If I remember I'll take a photo tomorrow.

Same here, have lasted for years and give a bit of fire protection I suppose as they're metal.

I spent about 15 years doing rescue or recovery so probably still got enough left to do a couple more cupboards

I use an old filing cabinet as well, most used stuff in the top drawer, all cans, bottles, aerosols etc go in there, reduces the number of places to look if something is mia

Hi, I keep mine in plastic storage boxes (available from all good and bad retailers) they act as a bund in case of spillages.

Just a rough sketch of what I'm think of building:

It will most probably have doors to prevent everything getting dusty etc!

Nothing fancy Ashley, just wine kits and occasionally some beer
