We've had diesel tanks on the farm for years, haven't had a gas storage tank since the 70's until a couple years ago.
With most of the tractors being diesel I didn't think we needed gas storage for no more than I thought we where using. One day the wife got to talking about the number of trips she made getting 5 gallon jugs of gas (2-3 jugs pre trip) so we figured up our gas usage.
1 tractor normally only used for raking hay. 10-20 gal pre year
2 four wheelers. 10-15 gal per year
zero turn mower. 5 gal per week, 24 weeks of mowing season = 120 gal per year
2 lawns plus about 5 acres around the barn lot and poultry barns.
Chevy S10 used only on the farm for traveling to and from poultry barns and other farm use. 5 gal pre week, birds in 35 weeks per year = 175 gal per year
:shock: That's over 300 gal of gas per year we where hauling in 5 gal jugs.
We now have a 150 gallon overhead storage tank our bulk supplier fills, yes the price is a little higher but it's 100% gas with no ethanol so no worries about carb issues on small engines.
For those that may use 50 gallon or more per year, have a storage tank put in and at the end of the year use the rest in your automobile, order fresh in the spring.
Also I dough I'm the only one to roll in from the field with the trucks fuel gauge on empty, nice to have that extra gas there when needed.
