[QUOTE="upfrombottom, post: 775486, member: 13088"] I've got an L shaped steel Delta tank in my truck now, that I've had for years. It came with loops welded to the top so you can lift it out and I take it in and out with a come-a-long when I'm not haying. I have a filter on it after the pump. I also have a 250 gal gravity tank up on stilts I fill up with the portable so in the winter I have fuel at the house. As I was baling the last of the first cutting this year, I filled the portable up and when I went to fuel the tractor, the pump wouldn't work, wouldn't even come on. I messed with it for about three hours and got PO ed and called my brother and got him to pick me up a new one. He brought the only one they had, which is a really good pump, but the dang thang wouldn't screw in the tank. The old one had a union type connector that would turn without turning the pump. The new pump was just threaded and you had to turn the whole pump around and around to thread it in the tank. Not so bad except you could only turn it a half turn and it hit the back glass of the truck. Wound up filling the tractor up by holding the pump with one hand and the hose with the other. And when I got home, I pumped what would fit in the 250 gal tank and every jug I could find just so I could pick it up and screw the pump in. Well got the pump in and used it for a day and it quit pumping, again with a nearly full tank. It ran but wouldn't pump. Here we go again, only this time I had to syphon it out into jugs an what ever else I could find that wasn't already full. Picked the tank back up screwed the pump out and the dedgum pickup tube that came with the pump had came apart where they had glued it together, had glue on about a third of the pipe where it went in the fitting, I just left it in the tank and went to the store and got another pipe. I had to buy a whole stick for twenty inches, got it back together and so far, no more trouble. Figured the bottom would fall out of the price on diesel since I got it stockpiled now. [/QUOTE]
