1*I solved the problem of contaminating fuel in cans and the associated transfer process.
2*I bought a 50 gallon tank and a manual rotary pump by Fil-Rite.
3* I added a 10 micron spin off filter at the pump discharge.
4*I put the tank on wheels so I can move it around easy.
5*The wheels also give clearance so I can lift with the FEL fork attachments and put it in and out of the pickup for filling.
6*Each Tank assembly set me back around $500 and a couple hours fooling around with it.
7*I don't buy enough fuel per year to warrant a larger tank .
8*I don't buy enough fuel per year to warrant going for untaxed fuel

1*I did it with this.
It filters the fuel 2 or 3 times depending on how i operate it.
2*I bought 12 drums at $3.00 each and sold enough of them for 13 dollars a piece to pay for the drums i used, plus i made a profit on the deal. .
3*Here's my filter.
4*I take the tractor to the fuel instead of taking the fuel to the tractor simplifies things a lot that way .
5*Thanks to the self filling feature of this rig I have no need for wheels or forks as the drum is never moved or put it in or taken out of my pickup for filling.
6*I've got less than $400 in this outfit.
7*Me neither.
8*30 to 50 cents less per gallon is always warrented.
My
9*My Montana came with a filter screen in the opening of the fuel tank; .
9*That's great but what about water ?
10* A Mr. Funnel would prevent this.
I have one .
10* I have one too but don't use it any more since I built this 
.
11*So you fill it in the back up the pickup -
12*Is it DOT/EPA/"Fire Police" approved or do you just fill it and drive away?
13*Ever had any issues with it?
11* Certainly:No preblem!
12*Doesn't have to be so why not?
13*I haven't had any issues with mine.
14*I love my Mr Funnel..even removes water.
15*I get my fuel from the local Marathon station which gets new fuel every 4-5 days..they sell al lot..
14*I don't need mine much if any any more.
15*Probably not as much as A Marathon Bulk Plant that sells to fuel distributors service stations and truck stops.
16*DOT regs only apply to permanent installed tanks used as auxillary fuel for the vehicle and commercial uses.
17*My tank is sold as a transfer tank so does not require DOT tag.
18*I checked with the fire dept and got their blessing as long as I do not put in a garage or enclosed shed.
19* They reccommend not fueling around open flames such as a furnace (mine is electric), fireplace, or burn pile.
20* EPA, when they have time to find my little tank on a farm off the beaten path I will deal with it then i guess.
21*I think there is a minimum tank size mine is under if I remember the air pollution rules.
22*My brother-in- law has 120 acres and 10 times the equip I have, a 500 gallon Diesel, and 250 gallon gas tanks and has never been bothered.
23* As I have the filter I saved $200 buying a steel tank rather than an aluminum one.
24*I check for water often.
16*The word commerical is the key .
17*Also you are exempt because you are a private party not a commerical operator.
18*I can see not putting it in a garage but I think a shed or small storage building like this
is the perfect and safest place to put it.
19*Makes good sense to me.
20*Looks like you will not have that problem.
21*I think you are probably rite.
22*And a simple little ole homeowner only is not likely to be noticed or even considered.
23*My drums are fine.
24*the filter on my rig does that.
are common mix).
25*I have been using a large galvanized funnel.
26*I like the idea of built in water prevention. :thumbsup:
25*Get rid of the funnel .
Galvanized and diesel fuel don't mix.
Diesel will cause the galvanize to flake off the funnel and mix in with your fuel.
You don't want that in your engine.
26*So do I.
