Refueling effort

[LBrown59]

I suspect there are a lot of people storing 300 and more gallons of diesel in their basement to heat their house.
.

And run their tractors on!

Storing 300 gallons of diesel is a lot safer than storing 300 gallons of gasoline.

If the hose ever leaks it will drain the tank.
I don't like the idea of storing fuel inside.

It has a shutoff at the base of the tank.

If your house or garage was on fire would you recommend dumping 300 gallon of diesel on it?

I keep my basement cistern filled with water just in case my house starts on fire.

So then do you get to climb up and down there twice when ever you fuel the tractor.?

I think it's time to end this thread. It has lost its usefulness long ago.

I would, have you ever cleaned up a house that's half burned down? Not to mention disposal costs !!! MikeD74T Sorry, just couldn't resist fanning the flame!

Yep years and years ago helped my uncle repair a roof that had burned a big hole through.
Swore rite then i never wanted a partly burned house/ let er go clear to the ground and get er over with.
No foundation savers for me.

Sorry I brought it up and ruined a good thread.. I did like his idea of a gravity feed tank, but I'd put it away from my buildings.. Just in case.
I also like the trailer with two tanks on it. I might have to give that some more though. I also hate having to heft 5 gallons a gas up onto the tractor, just never thought about trying to fix the problem. And believe me.. It's tad more challenging for me since only stand about 5' 3".
