Good brainstorming; thanks all. Looking like the drum idea is
best and the one i understand the best so far. Can't haul it to
be filled though 'cause around here they'll only put fuel (even
kero) in approved containers so I called to see about delivery:
Can't find a place yet that will deliver gasoline - they're only
for fuel oil types. They also said gas could only be delivered
to a properly installed EPA container, so I guess that's out.

Thanks
