Looking for
A small not to expensive trailer to put a 300 gallon fuel tank on to leave down at camp
If anyone has a lead please let me know |
You gonna haul this trailer back and forth with 300 gallons of gasoline on the roads and highway? If so, watch out for cops. That is very illegal. Tried that once. You would not believe the DOT regs for hauling tanks of gasoline. Now diesel tanks have very few regs.

Fuel tank
Find a local fuel distributor and have them bring the fuel to your location, hell on pulling 300 gal on a utility trailer! Got a 250 and a 300 at the house, much easier!
|
Yea, I have a fuel guy lined up to come fuel my tank when he comes by once a week but I still have to get from camp to boat stalls

Not a good idea. Gas weighs a little over 6 lbs per gallon. 250 gallons is around 1,600 lbs and 300 gallons is around 2,000 lbs. I wouldn't trust an el cheapo trailer to haul gas with. |
W.. I'll let U borrow mine.. I'll actually come move it for U if U need.. I only charge $125.00 Hr... HEHEHE.. Im just kidding... The Cool-aid drinker I AM!!!!

http://www.jmesales.com/catalog/rect...pumps,5695.htm sounds like a whole lot less hassle then a trailer even if you have to make a second trip to refill it. |
This is a dumb idea!!!!! :eek:
|
How are you filling up now Dub? Pull ur boat out when u need to fill up? Carry gas cans? What do the rest of the guides do?

Yea go with the fuel tank/ toolbox combo.

Big Tex sells small ones that are good for fuel tanks. My dad just bought one for a 200 gallon tank he keeps in his hangar. 600 bucks with tax and license, and it's a good quality trailer. Also a good size for a 4-wheeler

Hauling 5gal gas cans sucks, done with that.. this will ride in back of my truck till I go buy a small trailer to leave a camp
|
Pumpelly's should give you a tank if you go over there, and if you fill up at bulk plant you can usually get gas for about 30 cents cheaper if you are buying 200-300 gals.
|
Waltrip let me know if u need one a little bigger than that!
I have a brand new one that holds 330 gallon sitting at the shop right now! |

He'll this one will never see full, boat only holds 45 gall |
I don't think those tote tanks are fuel rated.

I got three once. Never put has in it but they came from oil field. Free. Had anti corrosion stuff in um. Worked good for water and garden. Can put electric pump in um. I had a 100 gal tank for truck with 12volt pump worked grate cost to cost no stops a gas station.
Pics of your setup please when you get it worked out. U putting a pump what kind.? |
Quote:
If you need a pump PM me... |
Do NOT use an electric pump with gasoline! Are you crazy? I knew a guy who almost lost his life using a pump to empty flamable liquids. before.
Also there's a ton of regulations for transporting gasoline. Better check into that before hauling that around on the roads. |

Not from camp to boat stalls zero restrictions on private roads |
Guy asked for a trailer, got the book thrown at him by the internet police and HSSE gang.
Anyone got a trailer for the man???????????????????????????????????¿?????????? ???????????????????????? |
Quote:
That's good to know. Just be carefull. I'd use a manual pump just in case. |
find you some old 18 wheeler fuel tanks and mount on the trlr DOTD approved. Seen it more than once in grand isle. the guy live in baton rouge and drive down with 4 on a trailer.
|
Find an old boat trailer!

Fuel pump at Heberts

Won't u get water in a tank that size if ur only using it to fill your boat up, just thinking about how often you will be filling up the boat.

Good luck with ur quest But I'm with salty on this idea |

If the tank has a cover how will water get in? And the little bit of water that may get in should be filtered out pretty easily. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
I'm not gonna explain how water forms in fuel. Use google.
|
the road from your camp to stalls is not private.

Where can I get a 25ft fuel hose with nozzle around Lake Charles |

Idk how your boat stall is set up, but you could probably even rig it up to gravity feed and not even worry about a pump. Might have slight problems with trash but not much most likely. Especially with all the filters you got
