Portable Gas tank...?

[biglaketiger]

anyone know where I could find a used or a reasonably priced portable gas tank? Looking for one to place on small trailer to transport fuel to my boat hanging in my slip. Tired of carry 5 gallon cans to the boat. thanks

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 know a few people that use a 55 galon drum and a siphon hose to fill up their boats. works great and cheap

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.?

Dont they have a guy that pulls a tank around and fills up peoples boats? Im pretty sure thats what anthony does for his boat at heberts.

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

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.

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

[bjhooper82]

I figured you knew that.

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