I use a hundred gallon steel transfer tank. My tractor takes ten gallons. When i fill the tractor I replace the fuel taken from the tank with fuel from five gallon containers. I leave the empty containers in the back of my truck so that when I'm getting fuel in the truck I just refill those, too. That keeps the tank topped off and the condensation to a minimum.

A couple observations and suggestions. The poly tank should have a green nozzle for diesel. Red is for gasoline, green with sometimes yellow for diesel, but most pumps will only be green. Power works well, but gravity does too. You can get tanks on farm sales for 300-500$ for 300 gallons with a stand. Fuel by bulk is usually $.10-20 cheaper than at the pump. Issue is, fuel fluctuates in price and unless you use a lot of fuel you may pay more per gallon by the time you use up the tank’s contents. Make sure to use a water separator, inline. Many filters are designed to filter particulates and water, but the filters need to be in an up/down position, not laying flat. I have gravity for my farm implements and road vehicles. You can use farm grace in your tractor and excavator as they are not road vehicles and it can save a few more cents per gallon. My $.02

Good video and setup Adam. I know you'll like it! FYI... You'll never get a full 116 gallons in it. I think most manufacturers include the overall dimensions in the volume calculation, but my experience has been that the area where the handle and filter is located is included into that calculation. So if you take into account that recess in the top, you'll probably have close to 10 gallons of volume there, +/- a few gallons. But overall still good tanks and setup. At some point you'll probably want a permanent tank setup, but the portable transfer tank is still worth keeping around and is very handy! I just bought an AM-Tank brand last year after having a few metal tanks in the past.

I think the filters should be moved to a vertical position. This could make it easier to change the filters (also less mess) and lessen the amount of trapped air in the filters. You might also want to put a roof over the top and add containment underneath. If you have a leak, you don’t want have to deal with your state’s Environmental people (expensive enough to make an accountants head spin). Personally, a 250 gal fuel tank and home delivery would work fine, although it wouldn’t be portable. Less expensive too.

That's right around the price where you can buy a 100 gallon steel tank, GPI 15GPM automatic pump, and Goldenrod fuel filter housing with a water-separating filter. Though you do have to spend a bit of time assembling it and putting it on a pallet. The big advantages to this are all of the components are Made in the USA, the tank is DOT approved, the pump is UL-listed/CSA approved, parts are available and will be for a long time and the pump is rebuildable, and you get a water separating filter with visible bowl which is really important when storing and using diesel. Steel tanks include a vented cap which only allows vapor to leave the tank, they are spring-loaded and do not allow air to be sucked back in when the tank is cold. While you're right, water does sink to the bottom, rust is really a non-issue because the environment at the bottom of the tank lacks oxygen, and a minimal amount of all types of contaminants is to be expected with a fuel system and should be caught by a high-quality filter. I do use 55 gallon drums for long-term storage though, but I store only diesel. They remain closed tight until I'm ready to use it, when I then pump it into one of the 100 gallon transfer tanks. I got lucky and bought two 100 gallon tanks, 6 or 8 55 gallon drums, as well as the automatic pump before fuel prices spiked last year, and managed to save enough from having the cheap fuel to pay for the entire setup. It sure is convenient!

I`ve seen those VEVOR plastic tanks... pretty pricey for some plastic. But hey, if it works out better for ya, that`s what matters. That new tank should have a green nozzle, not a red one. The green nozzle has a larger fill pipe too i believe. That green nozzle will help you fill quicker just changing out that red nozzle to the green nozzle.

Hi Adam, Most diesel engines will run perfectly well on home heating oil. Heating oil is about $1.00 less per gallon than diesel fuel. Heating oil can also be delivered directly to your home, which saves you the time of lugging that tank to the service station to fill it up. PS: Storing gasoline is not a very good idea since it deteriorates rather fast. Gasoline absorbs moisture, degrades and the octane rating goes down fast in storage. Buy you gasoline at busy gas stations and use it all within 2 months or less.

Expecting 11 gallons more capacity as the plastic bulges out with age seems like an awful stretch. Maybe the manufacturer has a different definition of what a gallon is. This is why the world uses metric. There's no messing with confusing U.S. gallons versus Imperial ones and the math is always just multiples of ten. At least it solves the rust issue for you.

Ok for your drum your reasons for not keeping the drums can be solved for about 10 bucks. 1) a hardware store carried vents for the small bung on a drum. 2) to keep water out of your tractor it is simple. Use a water block filter, cut your pump tube on an angle and put a wedge under the pump side of the drum. That also keeps the water somewhat off the top of the drum. 3). I can hear the fuel going into my tractor so I can tell when it is getting full. You can also park right next to your drum if you must see. My drums have no rust after 20 yrs of use. We use the same procedure for our aircraft fuel in the bush. So while your tank is nice Noway could l justify a thousand bucks plus freight. Now if they want to give it to me that's a different story. Oh, also you should be running a diesel additive for lubrication and also the additive will absorb any water. The additive is kinda like the fram man without it down the road you are going to have some repairs.

At $1,000 each and you need 2 that’s awful expensive. Buy a couple of used 200-300 gal. tanks, they are cheap. Have fuel delivered in bulk and have the filter installed vertically to where it actually works. Could also even switch to a drainable filter to check for water.

Personally unless you’re flying through the fuel, just put it inside.

Overpriced junk. No thanks I’ll stick with real fuel tanks.

Won't condensation form in a poly tank just as it does in the metal drums?

I think the volume dispensed at the pump is actually a calculation of the volume at 15 degrees Celsius or it is over here in communist Europe so that might explain the volume discrepancy. Certainly looks an upgrade on the drums. You'll be less likely to encounter someone stealing the entire unit. A couple of guys could probably easily load your diesel into a pick up

Looks decent. Put the tank on a pallet which will then give you a place to mount a battery.
