I am very close to buying a diesel ZTR for residential use right now. One of the advantages I have read about on this site, is the use of off-road diesel from my heating oil supplier to save on fuel costs. I am curious as to how people get deliveries of the fuel, and how they store it and transfer the fuel to their tractors, etc.??
I have oil heat for my home, but can't see how I could tap these tanks for the couple of gallons at a clip needed to do my lawn. Do people really use the huge multiple hundred gallon tanks to store their fuel? I have seen smaller 20-50 gallon tanks with transfer pumps that I could easily store in or behind my shed. As this will only be used for my home, I can't really see using more than 20 gallons per month.
Any hints, tips, etc for a newbie?
Thanks
