Can anyone tell me, if envasar in 55 gallons drum in English is barrel?
How do you say, envasar in English, when referring to liquids, oil, etc? Is it drum or barrel? I appreciate your help!!

These two links tell the whole story. Barrels are similar, but distinct from, the well-known USA item of the "55 gallon drum"
Extra: - But medit is correct. In English, we can "barrel" something (to fill a large container), but we would not likely say "drum" something (except to produce sound).
"Barril" seems to be the common word for "barrel" in spanish ,while "envasar" is to bottle something. As shown in pesta's links, barrels are standarized by their industry and use.
I think it is to barrel,
