You mention pickup truck. Some contractors have a fuel tank that fits
in the bed of the truck.

That could allow you to carry some fuel on the back, and to fill your
wife's car. At the loss of some bed space of course.

How do you plan on filling this home-based tank?

That IS a problem. Perhaps the biggest problem of all.

I am hoping there is someone who delivers the gasoline, just like they
deliver propane to my house from a propane truck.

If they don't deliver 55-gallon quantities, then the only other
feasible
idea I can think of is to fill it (tediously) from 5-gallon or
10-gallon
portable gasoline containers in the back of my pickup.

If I get a smaller tank (say 30 gallons), I would guess I can lift it
by
hand off the pickup bed, but, I'm not young and my back isn't good and
I
don't have anything like a forklift. I guess I could build a ramp and
roll the drum down with a dolly but if it's 350 pounds, I really don't
want to do that every few weeks.

Basically, I was hoping YOU guys could advise me on my options for
FILLING the drum.
