I used to be affiliated with a volunteer organization. Had a lot of boats.

Anyway, a fuel refiner not only donated the gasoline, but provided a tank
(~200 gallons) and hose which gravity-fed the boat tanks.

Talk to your local gasoline wholesaler. They may GIVE you a tank and come by
whenever you call and deliver the gas.


For a business in town or a local farmer that uses a lot of fuel, sure.
For a guy living at the uphill end of a winding 2-track, probably not so
much. OP said he may use 2-3 barrels ( 165 gallons) a year.
