Default air tank for vacuum

I need a way to vacuum hot oil without collapsing a vessel.Â* We have been
using 55 gallon drums for oil that has cooled down, but, they will collapse

gallon,
200 psi, 650 degree F rated air tank.Â* This would not be a true vacuum.
There
will be constant air flow.Â* The hot oil that we need to vacuum is only
about 1
to 1 1/2 inches deep, so, a standard hot oil pump will not work.


Weld a skeleton around the drum?
