good luck can you use like a 55 gallon drum or something like that. i have some 250 gallon containers but i would think that would be overkill

I'm looking for something in the 50 gallan range, 100 gallon tops probably. Have a 4 x 8 trailer I want to set it in. Was thinking about the 55 gallan drums, where can I get my hands on a drum? Do the drums have rust issues on the I.D.?

Bubba Morvant does it but right now in the slow months they don't come around very often, plus sometimes in the summer I need fuel pretty quick and I miss him. When the guide boats start running daily he comes more frequently, he's a good dude that offers a great service though

I've looked at new poly tanks and they want a fortune for them things, around 400 to 500 bucks. But I hadn't thought about poly drums, you know who may sell poly drums? I would think they wouldn't cost as much

Plastic 55 gallon drum in trailer. Then put a battery box and permanently mount an electric gas pump to the barrel. Fill up your boat quick and easy.

A pump like this is what I mean. The tank would be slick too!
