Finally broke down and bought a diesel can at McCoys the other day. $59 same price as the red gasoline cans. 5 gallons.

I get about 50 gallons each trip. It is the easiest way to fill the high tanks on the Kubota and the Bobcat.

I stepped up to a larger steel tank. This Weatherguard tank is 106 gallons. I'll use my same pump and filter from the plastic barrel.
I welded 2 pieces of 2x6 heavy wall tube under the tank. So it will be easy to just fork this tank on and off the truck for trips to the fuel depot.
Cool :cool:

Thats awesome! Did you purchase that tank new? It looks new. If you don't mind, what what the price tag?

It is a new 14g tank from Weather Guard 106gal. It was right about $900 delivered to the ranch.
The build and paint quality look excellent. I read a lot of reviews trying to find a cheaper thank... so many leaked :oops:
Finally one reviewer said buy a better tank. That struck home. I bit the bullet and I bought from a manufacturer I know and trust.
