I use 3ea 55 gallon drums that I have lashed into an old GMC short bed trailer made from the truck. I got my pump from TSC but have seen the one you are talking about in NT catalogs. I stuck an old battery adjacent to the drums and charge it every once in awhile. Doesn't take much juice to run the pump.
I fill the barrels, leaving expansion room obviously, and cap them up tight except for the one I'm using in which I leave the pump. 3 barrels with air space at the top fall under the requirement for a haz mat sticker on the trailer so I don't have to fool with that. Annual trailer license for farm use is 5 bucks.
It sits under a car port I built keeping the tanks out of the sun and rain but within easy reach of my tractor.
When it's time to fill her up, just latch on to the trailer and go and get it. I got tired of hauling them in the back of the p/u and having to lift them out and back in every time I needed to fill them.
In case you're interested, for the lifting device, I installed a girth chain around the drum that wouldn't slide up over the ridge. I then added enough chain to make a loop connecting each side of the girth. I have a hook on my FEL bucket and would use that to lift them out. Now I don't have to fool with that.
Go for it.
You could also mount a larger single tank in the trailer but would need a haz mat sticker. I had the drums so that's what I used. Mark

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
