Are you looking for gas or diesel storage?
Diesel. The only equipment other than cars on the farm that run gas are the portable generators and the Polaris Ranger. The Ranger, which we use multiple times a day, will go for three weeks on a tank of gas, so no issues.

I looked at truck mounted options but given the size of my farm, a 20/25 gallon roller seems to be the best option. The key is the filler location on some of the equipment, higher than you think and a bit clumsy. I have no issues with the little electric pumps I use in the 5 gallon diesel gas cans I use but wife does.

My "plan" is to continue with the current process of getting gas in the portable cans and then, which I do now, pour the diesel through a screen and filter, especially the off road diesel before I fuel the equipment.

TMI but that is my thought process.

Thanks again!
