We stored fuel on our farm for 40+ years (1910-1950) in three 55 gallon drums. 2 gas and 1 kero. They were set up about 50' from the nearest building. Then, our fuel supplier offered to bring out a 300 gallon tank that we could use as long as we purchased fuel from them, which we did, for about 25 years. The fuel supplier went out of business and we ended up with the tank, which sat for about 30 years unused. By that time I had installed 2 550 and 1 300 gallon tanks. I finally got around to disposal of the 60 year old tank. Scrap yard said I had to cut a 1 sq ft hole in it so they could look inside. I did, with a cold chisel and a heavy hammer. With all that pounding, all the rust had fallen to the bottom of the tank and the inside of the tank was as shiny as a new dime. I could still be using that tank if I had just pounded on it for about an hour. Pretty funny. BTW, I also have a 110 gallon tank with pump for the bed of the pickup which I use to chase down the combine when it needs fuel in the field. Works great.

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
