I figure I won't ever fill it beyond the engine capacity, so that should help the weight issue some. Funny you mention the shop heater, the tag on it states the spout will fit in a 55g drum bung.
The top is sloped for most of its surface and the 4 drain holes should be enough to allow me to just pull the plug. We'll see when I do it!
I don't really like the current setup, which is a cast iron 90 coming out of the pan, which has a plug in that elbow. While it does direct the flow straight down, it also doesn't stay tight in the pan. So there's a very slow drip that I'll fix when I drain her next time.
