You just keep the truck busy all day,
fill a lot of tanks up. But the flip side of that is somebody still
has to do the work.

The current plan is that we've lined up a couple of pickup trucks
from neighbors, and we have this (rather puny) 685-gallon spare tank:

That nominally 500-gallon tank weighs about 100 pounds, so, with
685 gallons in it, that's a bit over 2-1/2 tons of weight.

I have never owned a pickup.

Does a 2-1/2 ton pickup actually carry 2-1/2 tons?
Seems logical, but I'm not sure how that spec works.
