Yeah I calculated its volume. It's right at 200 gallons. Got it basically setup. It's got a handpump. Bought new filter and got a vented lockable fuel cap. I do want to wipe it out once more with the ol' rag-on-a-stick method and probably pump a little diesel through the pump before using. I may eventually get a DC powered fuel pump. But I'm basically ready to go! Now all I gotta do is find the $900 to fill 'er up!!

Then I'll have to construct a 10-foot tall fence topped with razor wire; install a security system with motion sensors and laser trips; and buy a guard dog!!
