Pics of my fuel caddy

[Buzzard81]

This is one of the best projects I have done, It is fast fill up, back saving, wonderful to have glad I did it. Thanks to all who have inspired me with pics of their own fuel caddys. I knew the very first time I filled up my L3400, standing on a ladder with one foot on the front tire waiting for 5 gallons of diesel fuel to flow into the tank that there had to be a better way, and thanks to this forum I was inspired. So onward to the pics ( I hope they show properly)

Very nice, how do you get fuel into it?

Fancy! I could use something like that, even for my little BX. The wife has a hard time with a full 5-gallon can. I have switched to the type with a push-button valve, and that has helped, but she still struggles.

Buzzard81 ... Looks great, I like the filter drier vent, keeps moisture from getting in...

But it looks like your filler cap is broken... KennyV

Very nice. I have pondered building something like that for myself.

first time I had to put it on my trailer and lug it to quickway and fill er up. I called to see if I could get a truck to stop by and fill me up with off road diesel but they wouldn't for such a small amount, subsequent fill ups are going to be more like topping off with 5 gallons of fuel. The hose in front will suck when it's valve is open and the other valve to main tank is closed.

Hey Kenny V the fuel cap isn't broke all is in working condition, not even a leak, hope I haven't spoken too soon.

Well even then I am sure it is a lot easier than holding the 5 gallon cans in the air. We are putting in a 300 gallon tank on one of our farms, but the other will be with the 5 gallon containers.

I really like it.....Where did you get the tank? The filter looks "boatish". Roughly how many $$ do you have in it? Like all you guys, hovering with 40 lb's of dribbling fuel gets old.:thumbsup:
