Fuel storage building

[lilranch2001]

My point is we never think twice about storing our vehicles full of fuel in our garages and buildings every day. A transfer tank doesn't strike me as any more dangerous so I don't see the need for a separate building.

But whenever I am working in my barn, I never have my vehicles in it when I’m running a welder or cutting torch either!

How many people would bother to move five or six or seven jugs of fuel out of the barn every time they’re going to strike up a welder or cutting torch?

If you were specing it what would you want?

Containment? (for leaks. Total volume 1.5x Tank?)
Shade / Cover? (for Temp and Weather (e.g., Rain or snow) fill-up
Elevated? (for no electricity fueling)
Not Elevated? (so would not self-dump / self-empty) for leaks?
Hand crank pump? (like typical back of truck fuel tank)
Light (night time fueling)
Materials? (Steel or Aluminum or Fiberglass)
Transport(able)? (Trailer Mount or in/out of Truck)
Theft / Security? (Locked / Alarm?)
Sensors / Monitor (Access / Leaks / Temperature)
