Mobile Fueling Station.

I have have been wanting to make more diesel storage and an easier way than lifting 5 gallon jugs of fuel. I picked this aluminum L tank last spring at a RB Auction.

I used home cut 2x4s and 2x6s over 4 inch (actually 4.5 inch) square skids. I brushed on 3 coats of Copper Naphthenate 8% (68% by Volume) Concentrate. It is diluted one gallon of concentrate to 3 gallons of diesel.

It truly stinks as the smell came through 2 pairs of rubber gloves and made me very happy, even while wearing a half face respitator. I can't imagine any bugs or even critters trying to get under this stinker.

I will be installing this 15 gpm pump this, rainy, weekend.

So I will be able to put the forks on the Mahindra and load or unload it, or fuel my toys, eh....machines.
hugs, Brandi

I put plywood sides on mine to help protect against denting should I screw up and bump into it with my pallet forks or anything else. I also made a steel wheeled dolly to set it on so I can wheel it around the shop. It's very handy and sure beats lifting heavy 5 gallon fuel containers. You are gonna like it.

Skipper B,
Plywood sides is a good idea. Mine is gonna be stored outside and I will put a tin roof on it.

I made mine with a 50 gal. Reefer tank in a wooden frame. I put it on two HF dollies in the shop so easy to move wherever needed.

Once, I bid on a pair of 50 gallon aluminum saddle tanks. I was outbid.

How about posting photos of your reefer tank?

Hey Wagtail! Haven't seen you around for awhile. How many gallons is your rig?

Nice job! Thanks for posting. I’m always looking for ideas for a fuel station.

I put mine on a used second hand Harbor Freight trailer frame - so I can tow it around as needed, move it around in the garage etc. Split setup, 75 gal diesel, 75 gal unleaded.
