I've got a 300 gallon gas tank on skids that I cleaned out and put a new plastic suction pipe in the end that has a metered gas pump on it. The tank is vented to the outside of the building year round via an iron pipe of around 2" diameter, with a cap to keep water from getting in.. This tank is stored indoors in my heated barn, and I had it spray foamed when I was doing my barn's walls. I use two filter's on the outlet pipe after the pump; one is a TSC fuel filter, and the other is a fuel water separator. I mark both for date and # of gallons so I know when to change them out. I buy ONLY winterized fuel due to my climate, and do not add any additives to the mix beyond the fuel being winterized already prior to delivery. I've never had a fuel issue since 2009, and probably 900 or more gallons to date.
I'd check the gallons used on the meter but I'm 5,083 miles away in the Turks and Caicos!
