[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1792241, member: 39018"] Those hard rubbermaid ones eventually degrade and get more brittle from the sunlight. If you're looking for 300 gallon, that's a fairly large tank... so not as "portable" as say a 30 or 50 gallon... pretty much are gonna "prefer" it on a skid to drag. A smaller excavator tire will give you the same capacity, will "drag" just as easily, and will be far more durable. Just using the raw numbers, a 5' OD tire that's about 24" wide will give you about 300 gallons.
