I use Ilford Hypam, which if I am doing my math right, you would need 3 orders of to get 20 Gallons. At $27.99 per 5-liter jug, that's $84 shipped, so even a bit cheaper.

Personally I wouldn't want a 5-gallon jug of fixer concentrate. A 5-liter jug of Hypam lasts me a good year or so. I use it for a long time in a sealed container and it has no problems getting out all of the dye in TMX, with enough fixing of course. I also dilute it a bit more than usual for paper.
I use an off brand version that was used in minilabs, but it is no longer available. 5 gallons of concentrate lasts me a long time. This is pretty basics stuff. I"m not sure how they could screw it up. I'm going to order a container soon, as I'm getting low.

The PF TF5 warns of a 1 year sealed bottle shelf life.

I found a Kodak document that said Rapid fix in a closed container has an indefinite shelf life. http://www.kodak.com/global/en/profe...3cf/e103cf.pdf

My rapid fix is at least 5 years old. I top off one of the 2.5 gallon plastic tanks with a floating lid and spigot. (I store fix in one and stop in another. I used to also store print developer and Xtol the same way, but I don't do the volume anymore where that makes sense.) The fix works just fine.
