Hi Dave,
1 U.S. drum = 55 u.s. gal. = 208.2 liters = 295.2 Kg = 650.8 lb
or
1 Imp. drum = 45 imp. gal. = 204.6 liters = 290.1 Kg = 639.5 lb

of honey at 17.4 % humidity and 20 deg.C. or 68 deg. F.

or
a 1000 liter tank will hold 3126.3 lbs (1418 kg)of honey.

If you need more detail, just write me an e-mail.
Bye
