Bulk Diesel Tank

[Smokeydog]

can you elaborate on the fuel pump / dewalt battery conversion, or maybe provide a link?

Amazon.com

That’s what I used.

Smokeydog that is a very nice setup you built !

I don’t go through a lot of diesel fuel so will most likely continue using my mostly 5 gallon No Spill cans, I like to keep track of how much fuel per hour my tractor uses and the 5 gallon cans make that pretty easy. My cans are all red but so far around here no stations are enforcing the yellow cans for diesel rules. I do buy off road diesel because it’s quite a bit lower priced.

Very nice setup! But I'm really interested in that step ladder!!! Where can I get one like that?

I've been using plastic jugs until now as my GC2610 is the only diesel I have. I'm taking delivery of my new F350 diesel in two weeks and have thought about adding something to the fuel system that would allow me to pump into my tractor from the truck, possibly using the OEM lift pump. Anybody done something like this?

Little Giant ladder, amazon.

That Vevor setup looks nice.

I use a 55 gallon drum and a rotary hand pump I put together for diesel a couple of years ago. It's not this clean any longer...

I want to do something similar for ethanol free gas for the mowers/splitter/generator/etc but I just don't want to spend the $ on what they want now for the pumps... 5 gallon containers for gas still....

I don't have anything fancy. This is a 50-55 gallon square tank I bought many years ago coupled with my hand pump that is a Tolkeim old as the hills. The tank is both bolted to the home made heavy pallet, 4x6 and 2x10 and also strapped with a rachet strap.

This has been a great unit for me. Easy to lift with mySSQA forks. I keep it in my wood shed and when I need to refill I put it the back of my pickup and SECURE it well. I think I posted this photo a decade ago. If I need the added fuel off our place it rides safe and well in the truck and is right on target to refuel.

I should also say for years before I bought this tank I used a 50 drum on or off a pallet and found this to be much safer and better to handle.

Like the fuel filter. Is it the water absorbing kind plus particulate filtration.

So impressed with Vevor tank and pump, ordered a second one, smaller 48 gallon and can handle both gasoline or diesel. Bulk tank and pump that can handle gasoline is rare. Not sure of why or how other than they it cost a little more. Gasoline is more volatile so extra precautions to ground for static must be followed. Moving, pumping fluids can cause static.
Non ethanol unleaded gasoline costs about $1 more per gallon. Better for the small engines, generators and long storage. Pir-G stabilizer the best stuff to keep gas fresh.

I am bothered by hauling it in the back of your truck. I use an open dual axle trailer so I can tie it down sloshing fuel has a lot of power. Also diesel vapor especially in warmer months is highly explosive in enclosed areas. Just a thought. Diesel fuel not real dangerous but diesel vapor very dangerous. Need to treat it
Like gasoline for safety
