Impressive job. I remember the days when I could afford bulk fuel tanks and the fuel to fill them (early 80's). Now, not so much.

It is good to keep the Summer sun off those tanks too.

Looks very professional. How do you fill them?

I would guess by delivery truck.


Couple of thoughts. Not sure I understand the color scheme. I would think red for gasoline and yellow for diesel. I might have gone with more overhang on all four sides. Maybe fire suppression with a pull chain?

Color scheme/wording on tank keeps the thieves guessing.I do lock both tanks.
