    New to me storage tank

    I modeled up how I want to mount it. I just used stuff laying around to make a simple cradle. Screwed some plastic chocs onto some pieces of landscape timbers. The final resting place will be where the drums are now. I decided not to worry much about the black film inside. I have a few gallons...

    You would be better served with a 275 gallon IBC tote.

    New to me storage tank

    Yeah I've been searching. Most of them start with HOW TO PREVENT. I know how to prevent it. I'm looking for a magic bullet to clean the inside of a tank with minimal access.

    New to me storage tank

    It has a supply and return tube welded in. I don't intend to use either and have them plugged. One has a 1/2" NPT thread and the other is 3/8" NPT. The tubes won't have any effect on my use. My transfer pump connects to a pickup tube with a 2" NPT base. I already have that figured out how to...

    New to me storage tank

    Tank has a black film in it. Put a couple gallons of fuel with 10X shock dose of Biobor in it to slosh around. I have a sample in a jar on my tool box to see if it will dissolve the stuff.

    Picked up the stuff to adapt my pickup tube I made for the drums. It has a 2" NPT adapter glued to it. The inside of the neck on this Freightliner tank is a tad under 2-5/8". I was hoping the OD on a 2" female adapter would be close but it's too big. If I turned it down to fit it would be too...

    New to me storage tank

    This will sit stationery in my barn. All of the pickup holes will be plugged and I will try to adapt the 2" pipe thread on the base of my pump to the fill hole. If I figure out a way to get that sealed I will use the other 1/2" NPT hole in the top for a filtered vent. I have my fuel delivered so...

    New to me storage tank

    I have a backhoe, tractor, and a MEP803A to keep fuel on hand for. I've run through the gambit on diesel storage. I started with 55 gallon oil drums and they started to rust inside after 4 years. I switched to plastic drums and one of those split this week. Thankfully it split above the fuel...
