I did a quick search here on TBN and havent found any threads on this. or maybe I am looking in right place?
Anyways, I am planning on getting 50-55 gallons of biodiesel or off road since the prices is killing me now. I was hoping to get enough from now till fall to curtail the higher prices coming this summer. I picked up a 55 gallon white plastic barrel for 25 bucks a week ago. Now, just so I know what I am getting into- I googled the diesel weight and it comes out to 7.15lbs per gallon. If I got 55 gallons worth of diesel it's gonna come out to 393.25lbs for the barrel!!!
I always gotten 5 gallons of onroad before when I needed it, but now with high prices, I am hoping to get ahead by the time fall comes around in terms of saving money. My question is, is moving nearly 400lbs of diesel a real pain? I am planning on moving it with my FEL but wonder if anyone has a tricks with a slippery plastic barrel?
