I want to lay in a store of diesel, at least 200 gallons. I’m looking at the big square metal storage/transfer tanks, but their weight plus fuel might make them too heavy for my B2601 FEL to lift down from the pick up bed after filling.
Does anyone know how well the poly 55gal. drums would hold up? I see several of them along with a mechanical pump serving fine, individually lighter and easier to transport.
I’m not interested in Safety Sallies, government restrictions, EPA or other excreta, just an objective, experience-based opinion about how well these inexpensive barrels will work for short and medium term storage.
Or, if you have proven alternatives.
Thanks!
