[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 4194076, member: 26737"] There near the end, my dad would buy off-road diesel by the 55 gallon drum, and he had a hand pump that threaded into the bunghole of the drum to pump the fuel into the tractor. I was going to get him a 12V-powered pump, but before I could do it, he got sick, and I lived too far away to make the drum-o-diesel a cost-effective option, so we went back to what we had been using before--the ubiquitous 5-gal yellow can. It doesn't seem like it would be, but those yellow cans were actually more convenient to use. I could toss a couple of them in the bed of my truck when I left, then fill them up when I was on my way back to the farm, plus I could stop by the tractor that needed fuel when I got back. If you're doing tillage on a big acreage, running a combine, and so forth, it doesn't make sense, but all of my tractors could do a hell of a lot of work on 5 gallons of diesel. [/QUOTE]
