    Ah, not owning an IBC i didnt know that, I wonder if those polystyrene chips that the use in packaging would do it. Of a two or 3ft long 4x4inch block weighed down with a brick? that would absorb expansion over the whole length of the container.

          An IBC is an intermediate bulk container, they are large square plastic containers used in industry for liguids, they come in a steel cage to stop the plastic deforming. Hold about 1000 litres.

            Cool, big spray units I'd call em here. Yes, you'd want to leave some space at the top with them.
