Mine is 100 gal. Think I got it from Northern. Really wanted a 350 gal tank on a platform so I could get free delivery but everything I saw used either looked like a rust risk or was priced too high or too far away. GL with your search.

I ordered my 108 gallon aluminum diesel tank on Amazon.
I built a pallet for it, and also set the pallet on a heavy low profile cart to move it around in the barn.

Took down some trees for a guy in exchange for the tank. It was brand new. He had never used it. If you're looking for a source for tanks, there are lots of options. I have a local place I would go to but if I was looking to get it at a national chain, I'd probably go to Home Depot. Search Results for fuel tank at The Home Depot

I bought it in a auction. 25 bucks for a 150 gal gravity tank

My 500 gallon came from my fuel supplier (I bought it) and the 120 in the back of the truck came from Northern Tool, way back when. My 500 is totally self contained, even has a built in spill berm. The one in the truck bed is diamond plate aluminum. I'd never buy a used tank. You never know what was in it or if there is junk in the bottom.

Bought two 50 gallon diesel tanks off CL, almost brand new, for $50@. That was about 2015 or so. Inspection with a flashlight showed them clean but empty when I bought them.

I have a wheeled 35 gallon fuel caddy and it’s great in the shop and for fueling but not so handy for hauling to have filled. I’m really thinking about getting a truck bed slim tank and mounting it to the front of my flatbed trailer. Easy to haul in for filling and a good fueling station at home.

How much diesel do you go through in a year? I graduated from 5 gallon cans to four 12 1/2 gallon flow fast containers to an overhead 300 gallon tank. About 1000 gallons a year across three diesel tractors and a gator. Fueling from the overhead tank is a dream. There is no delivery charge from the fuel supplier and they put in the additives that I need. I would give that some consideration. I picked up a used tank and stand for 500 bucks, had it cleaned out and sandblasted and repainted and put it on a concrete pad. Fully plumbed with good quality hoses and filters. I am into it for about 1500 bucks. The convenience is priceless.

I fill my 100 gal tank about 3 times a yr. It's a pain but beats 5gal cans. I transfer with a 12v pump and nozzle like at the gas station. I have a small battery I use or I can connect to 12v terminals I put on the front of the tractor
