I love these. Mounted on my brothers tractors, my tractors, and under my truck hood. Made adapter for trailer plug also. Have them on my sprayers, pumps, baler, and jerry-rigged portable lights made from headlights. Very durable.

I just got a empty 55 gallon container that had soap in it. Need to flush it out and find a pump system for it and build a skid for it.

Fill Rite makes 110v and 12v pumps.

As for not lifting the hood to get 12v, I just use the big lug on the starter and a near by bolt head for ground.

Fill Rite 110 pumps start at around $600.00, beyond my pay grade. As for lifting the hood to hook up a 12v pump, I wonder how many times I would of done that before a light came on and started hooking the clamps on the starter, but now we'll never know, 110v pump is on it's way.

I just pump heating oil out of my tank for the garage furnace .

I thought of that too, but as of right now I'm thinking of making a wood stove this summer for my garage, but that is supject to change, summer not here yet.

The past few years, eBay has been the best place for the best buys for me, I get the reviews on Amazon, then go buy on eBay. That same Gas caddy on your post is twice as much at Northern.

With a 30 gal. barrel on the way, I gotta start thinking how to get a 200lb. barrel full of fuel off my sons flat bed pickup with min-able effort. Get a barrel dolly, man handle it, make ramp and slide it off, put it on pallet utilize tractor..... 101 way's to get fuel off pickup

I'd suggest building a pallet that can securely hold the barrel and then use the tractor to move the pallet. Keep the loads and stresses off the barrel itself. Any sort of goof up could result in spilling 30 gal of diesel and that's not going to be good for anyone.

This thread was quite timely for me. I have 2 5 gallon diesel cans and that was fine for my tractor...but since I just got a large excavator delivered to the land....which has a 65 gallon tank, and after some internet research to calculate my fuel usage, I will probably need a full tank for every 8-10 hour day I put in on it.....I will be working non stop for about 10 days pulling stumps.....and hopefully that will be enough to get me where I need to be for the spring. So....I needed a different fuel setup. After looking over many suggestions I went with a 100 gallon tank from Tractor Supply, and a hand pump. I picked them up today and put them together. I will be mounting the tank to a heavy plastic palate tomorrow. And I will be buying pallet forks for the tractor next weekend so I can take it off the truck eventually. I need to learn about the Biocide mentioned since I will eventually have some fuel sitting around for more than a day or two. I might also want to put a water filter on it. Tank was 349 and the pump was 169. so I'm in it for about 525 plus tax.....shouldn't be paying tax since it is for the farm, but that is another story.
