I would actually start by checking with your supplier for requirements and recommendations. Diesel is either a category 3 or 4 flammable liquid. In WA state they have plenty of rules on this kind of stuff, both for fire safety and environmental in case of a spill. They may also regulate tank drains, cofferdams, etc. as these are all sources of possible leaks. See the attached link for an idea of what you may be getting in to. A supplier may refuse to deliver if the customer's tank isn't to code--they will let you know what you need to do so they can safely and legally deliver. If not, then you're back to humping 5-gallon cans, which defeats the purpose of having the 300 gallon tank in the first place.
Do not fill to the tippy-top. 95% full is the typical standard, as diesel fuel expands by about 3% from 20F to 90F. You don't want to burp the tank on a hot day.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
