275 FUEL TANK

[JDAOWNER]

THINKING ABOUT USING A HORIZONTAL 275 GAL FUEL TANK FOR OFF ROAD FUEL. SUPPLY COMPANY HAS A 150 GAL MIN. I WONT USE THAT MUCH IN 3 YEARS. HAS ANYONE HAD ANY EXPERIENCE OR COMMENTS WITH THAT SYSTEM?

I store 55 gallons of diesel and use a 37 gallon transfer tank for my daily use. Properly stored, diesel will be fine over 3 years.
My recommendation would be to keep the tank at a minimum, under cover and preferably in a shed type building. Also filter the fuel pumped out with a water separating or blocking fuel filter of 10 microns or less.

I had a 275 gal tank in my garage in Wisconsin I
had it filled one time and the fuel was still good
after 8 years. BIL used it in his MD diesel with no
problems.
