</font><font color="blue" class="small">( <font color="blue"> 1*The tank was some sort of industrial chemical container.
It contains about 25 gals and is manageable when full. ie, I can unload it from the pickup but would never try to load in.
2*Sure beats the bucket / 5 gal pouring with a bench.

1*I'm looking for a 15 gallon tank.
I don't use enough diesel to warrant a bigger tank.
Also the smaller tank being lighter to maneuver around when full would be easier to handle.
I want to set it on a dolly rather than a hand truck so that I can roll it on and off the tail gate of my pickup to a dock / stand that is the same height as my lowered tailgate.
----------------This set up would make loading and unloading the tank a breeze and taking the tank to get it felled up a snap.
2*It sure don't take much to beat the ole 5 gallon can method does it?

I got a 35 gal diesel fuel tank from an old dump truck plumbed in a filter a rubber line on the outlet side an a ball value and air hose quick chuck in old drain plugs.
I use the loader to put it in the trailer or go to the fuel station.
To fill the tractor just hook the air comp to it with 5 to 8 lbs pressure.
