A few months back I mentioned that we were building a fuel trailer and that I would post some pictures. This was a "round to it" project and there is still a few things to finish but it's almost complete. The original plan started out simple, just take some scrap metal from around the shop, build a small trailer and mount one of our old fuel tanks to it. Just something to make hauling fuel to the field easier, but along the way it sort of grew...LOL.
Most of the materials we already had, metal for the trailer, metal to build the fenders, axle (had to be shorten), toolboxes, hose reel and the tank (original). We fab up the trailer and did a full mockup which really meant we continued adding stuff until there was no more room, then everything was disassembled and sandblasted to bare metal. We then pre-treated all the metal and Powder Coated everything. Zink powder base, top coat and a 90% gloss clear coat. I know? it was overkill for a fuel trailer
We still have to decide what to do with the wheels and mount the freshly WET painted hose reel (decided it wasn't worth disassembling to PC).
If you are wondering:
Trailer is gloss black.
Tank and fenders are black chrome.
Toolboxes are silver vein.
Hose reel is red.
