You need 700 gallons for the house and you currently have a 200 gallon tank in the basement. So, you need another 500 gallons in the basement for household use. Assuming you can figure out a way to get a 500 gallon tank into the basement, why don't you just do that and consider that dedicated fuel for the house? Then, store diesel and gas for tractors, cars outside. I am in Wisconsin where -20F is normal in winter. I store my diesel fuel in above ground tanks outside and buy premium diesel fuel. Use Goldenrod water block fuel filters attached to the pumps on the tanks. Also have a 110 gallon portable diesel tank to chase after stuff in the field. When tanks go empty I clean them out completely before refilling. Use old diesel fuel from tank bottoms to burn stumps. I never treat the fuel in the outside storage tanks and have no problem with fuel gelling in winter due to the tractor fuel filters being mounted close enough to the engine to keep them hot. The one exception is the combine which has a fuel filter down on the bottom of the tank 10 feet away from the engine. That fuel gets winter treatment as does the fuel in the 110 gallon portable as that's what I use to fill the combine. Although I do use the portable tank for most winter fueling because it's handier and it does get the winter treatment.You seem to have plenty of tanks? Am I wrong? I buy my tanks new from Highland Tank in Pennsylvania. Best tanks, UL rated, best prices. Look out for local fuel dealers. They'll try to charge 4 times what the price should be. I buy my fuel from a big Cooperatve. Best prices plus I get a dividend for anything I buy from or sell to them.
