Bigest problem is it not being a DOT Aproved Tank with a Lable on it proving it. You might be able to pick up a cheap Alum Side Fuel Tank off a Semi Truck and do as you please with it. I have a Gasoline Fuel Tank on my Tender for the Pumps but I bought a DOT Fuel Tank so I could meet the regulations and it is perminetly mounted and holds 29 gals of Gas. It also has a proper Gas Cap, Vent and roll over type cap vent that won't leak. Beats having 6-5 gal Jerry Cans that are DOT aproved to serve the same purpose. I use a electric fuel pump and hose with a valve to fill the pumps with that hooks into the regular outlet line that is coming out of the top of the tank. I enclosed the Tank in Diamond Plate aluimium and it is held on the truck with 1 1/4 X 1/8 inch steel straps with rubber shims for wear reason. The tank is a Poly Material and aproved for perminet mounting use in Boats also. Has a tag stating it is approved on it. Mark H.
