Made me think of our fuel storage when I was a kid. A wooden stand with a tin roof holding two rectangular rubber tanks(kind of like tire rubber as I recall). They were airplane fuel tanks salvaged from WW II planes. I think they probably held around 200 to 300 gallons each??? One was for gas and one for diesel. 55 gallon drums of oil were on stands below them laying down with spigots to dispense oil into the quart jar with a funnel lid that we used to put oil in the tractors. In the 1960s we upgraded to 300 gallon steel tanks on stands. At that time we had a Oliver 1950 with fender fuel tanks. It held 112 gallons of fuel in the 3 tanks. It took about an hour to fill from the gravity flow tanks. My brother one time propped the nozzle open and went to do something else while he waited. Emptied the 300 gallon barrel before he remembered. Probably would be HazMat day if we did that now. (Some of my idle ramblings.)
