Fuel tank stickers?

[LouNY]

If a lousy thief steals diesel for his gas vehicle, he is getting part of what he deserves.

I received my "Diesel Fuel Only" stickers yesterday which completed my fuel tank project. The tank is a 100 gallon Better Built transfer tank with a Fill Rite FR112 rotary hand pump and Goldenrod fuel filter. I bolted it to a pallet made from treated lumber with the hope that it'll last a little while longer than untreated.

It was easily loaded on the truck and transported to be filled with fuel. Unloading was just as easy. I have filled the tractor a couple times already which was a lot easier than standing up on the brush hog while holding 5 gallon cans up to the tractor's tank.

Now if I can only remember to replace the tractor's fuel cap after filling. Yes, I lost my cap last Saturday and ordered/received a new one from Messick's in record breaking time. Thank you Messick's!

Looks great! I would like to do that one day. What was total cost?

Best I can remember, fuel tank from TSC $319, Fill Rite pump from Amazon $140, filter from local supplier $12, 2- Master padlocks and pipe/ fittings ACE Hwd $25

I really like it compared to the old hand crank pumps or 5 gal cans that I had been using. Easy to crank, fills the tractor's tanks pretty quick and no fuel drips from the pump or hose. No hernias- Priceless

Another feature to consider is an auto shutoff nozzle. They are a little pricey, but well worth it.

Will an auto shutoff nozzle work with a rotary hand pump?

Will an auto shutoff nozzle work with a rotary hand pump?

Yes. My gasoline tank has a rotary pump since I only dispense small amounts at a time.

Yes, I have one that I bought at a yardsale ($15 for the nozzle and a hose) and it works well on our rotary hand pump.

Thanks for the info. I've been trusting my hearing for when the tractor's tank is full but that don't always work so well.

Master padlocks .No hernias- Priceless

Learn from my pain. Use nothing made by masterlock. Watch some locksport youtube videos for their unbelievable vulnerabilities.
