Making gas cans great again

[bdhsfz6]

Wish there was a safe way to transport and store gas in a 30-50 gallon tank with a 12V pump like I have for diesel.

Back in the day when I had a long commute, there were no gas stations in my rural area that were open early or late. I would sometimes forget to fill up on the way home so as a backup, I would store some gas in a 150 gal skid tank by pumping it out of the 40 gallon tank on my pickup. That way, I would always have a supply on hand for my small engines, as well as my vehicles when necessary.

Yet another thing the current generations cannot wrap their heads around. Travel at night meant having to know where you could get fuel, or bring more along. We were SOL if we ran out. No cell phones. I suppose a few had a CB.

Our trunk always had a stash of necessities, just in case (especially in winter).

What prayer does that answer?

I can not think of a diesel fuel application that needs less than 5 gallons.

See post #125 in this thread, where they said they dislike lifting 5 gallon cans.

It's not so much the total weight (5 gal diesel = 35.5 lbs). It's the awkward position they have to be in to fill some of my equipment - combine that with the slow pour from crappy modern nozzles which means staying in that awkward position for more time and I can see why some are looking for other solutions. between a nagging upper back injury and a left shoulder that occasionally has problems, I suspect it won't be that many more years before I'm partially filling my 5 gallon cans.
