[QUOTE="mobgrazer, post: 611907, member: 9043"] I have 3 of the 500 gallon skid mount fuel tanks. There the ones you see at some of the rural fire or rescue squads. 2 of the tanks are on road and one is an off road tank. I have them sitting on a concrete pad under a carport (not near a building) to keep them out of direct sunlight. I have a 30 amp 220 circuit running out to a 4 breaker panel for the pumps and lights. Right before I get a load of fuel I add in SWEPCO 501. During the winter I add in an anti gel agent. On the pumps I have 2 filters/water separators; one is a standard unit and the other is a 10 micron unit. I do circulate the fuel for a few minutes before I start pumping into a truck or tractor if I have not used the tank for a few days. With bulk storage that’s not at a controlled temperature will have more condensation. As far as additives every area has different additives in there fuel. I would talk to some local companies that use bulk fuel and see what they use. A few semi tanks would be a great cheap tanks to use. If your thinking about getting bulk delivery make sure you don’t need a bulk fuel permit and that they will fill those tanks. [/QUOTE]
