Metal storage tank

Popeye's on base has agreed to give me their waste oil. I am having a heck of a time finding a metal storage tank to hold waste oil. it needs to be at least 150 gallons, preferably 250 gallons. I can find a few on the net but the tanks are $750 and the shipping is almost $500. I have tried the farm and ranch stores here in town and searched the web for stuff in El Paso which I'm sure somebody makes metal tanks, they just arent on the net or easy to find.

I can get a 250 gallon Poly tank which I think will handle the temp they poor the oil in at (250F) but when it gets colder it will be harder for me to heat the oil to siphon it out. Anyone have any thoughts? TIA
