Milatary Generator

I'm fortunate to have a diesel supplier with a low minimum. I keep two 55 gallon drums on hand and get fuel delivered. Cost for delivered off road ends up about the same as on road at the pump but gets me out of hauling and lifting.

Fortunate indeed. Used to have a guy deliver 100g min and charged $1/g over for delivery. Unfortunately he went out of business, something about insurance. My next option is 400g min, which I’m setting up for, but there are rumbling about future enforcement of double walled tanks with permits. Cheapest suggested tank was over $6k, not gonna happen. In past, i’ve used about 400g/yr for generators and tractors.

Sounds like fuel delivery is more of a pain in the *** than its worth.

We have a card lock within about 10 miles from us. I usually keep 2 full fuel containers around and if I need more I know where to get it.
