[QUOTE="500K_773, post: 538, member: 33"] OK, I finally tired of the 5 gallon fuel cans and bought a 12 volt electric pump (capable of 15 GPM) to use with 55 gallon drums. I don't want to leave the pump in the drum, so I was removing it after use. The pump fueled the loader in no time at all, but what a pain. It's messy and now I risk contaminating the fuel with dirt and debris. 55 gallons is not quite enough at provide much convenience either, I burn almost 20 gallons a day. Now I am looking to buy about a 180 gallon retangular tank to mount in my truck bed or on the trailer which I can leave the pump permenatly mounted to. This will offer convenience, but will add about 1300# to my load. I am almost thinking that the 5 gallon fuel cans were easier and definately cheaper, the pump was $300. Just stop at the truckstop on the way to or from the jobsite. [/QUOTE]
