I am looking to keep about 200 gallons of diesel fuel for my mep-005a. Can anyone give pointers of what they use and what I should watch out for?
I was thinking about using 4 - 55 gallon drums with 50 gallons in each along with fuel stabilizer. I am however a bit worried about whatever may have been in the barrel before causing an issue for the fuel / generator or the barrel itself rusting.
Any pointers on what others have done. I want to stay away from the clear/simiclear storage tanks as I have read the sun can break down the fuel over time. I am also not a huge fan of plastic barrels as I worry about a puncture when moving them.
For anyone who uses the steel barrels do you get the ones were the entire top is removable or just with a bung hole?
