Problem solved, Whilest talking at work about using immersion elements in an 18 gallon barrel, it was suggested it would be easier to use immersion heater elements in an immersion heater.
I am now the proud owner of a second hand immersion heater tank with the top cut off. I have a new element & fitting for the tap hole. Just gotta make a stand, add a tap and measuring glass tube. So far cost is 50 quid. Not bad for a 25/30 gal boiler. Thanks Vic.
Thanks everyone for all your help.
