I looked at those gas caddies, and it just seems like more hassle than it's worth. They weigh 100lbs or so fully filled, so you need to get the loader tractor or skidsteer to get it out of the truck. They are gravity feed so they need to be placed up high unless you want to develop carpal tunnel from squeezing the stupid handle.
