Drug this old diesel barrel home from a farm sale yesterday; been looking for a couple of electrics for quite a while now.

Trouble is, it will probably take a small fortune to fill the darned bugger up. :>(

What you need now is one a them there Oklahoma credit cards.

Ain't more than about a 300 is it? I've got a 1000. That's bring a cramp to your checkbook. Fuel man was here Friday to fill the 300 gallon gas barrel,set me back $810.

A Siphon Hose? >:^))

 

[Dave from MN]

What did you have to give for it to get the winning bid?? I know new just the pump is usually $300, with out the nozzle, filters and hose.

After filling the combine with 5gal cans the last 2 morning I decided to treat myself to a 100 gal with 12 volt electric to haul to the field.

Wife don't know it yet.

She ain't found my money tree yet Allan.~})

A syphon hose and a 5 gallon can.
Sorry guys as i dident mean no disrespect towards Oklahomans.
Its just an old joke i herd years ago and it stuck.

 

[Allan in NE]

You darned right!

A "must have" item, especially with combines and they are so darned fast too. :>)

PS. You'll have to break the news to her yourself. I'm stayin' clear out of this one. :>)

From the looks that's a 500 gallon tank at $3.00 you are looking at $1500 WOW hope you can get the farm fuel to save some money.
I heard these idiots out here going to drop the farm fuel let us by the road fuel and then get the tax back from the government, wonder how that will workout.

Hey that have those same credit cards here in Texas also. I think our visitors from the country just south of TX are issued them when they come to visit us.

 

[Dairy Farmer in WI]

i feel the same way. same sized tank needs to be filled at least once every 2 months. guess it's not as bad as the bigger farmers whose self propeled choppers hold at least 200 gal by itself. oh well. should slow down now that winter is comming. Just gotta get through combineing and i'll be fine. oh well. good luck Allan

A friend of mine bought a 275 gallon diesel fuel tank last spring sitting at an auction sale. Gave $20.00 for it. Went to load it and couldn't budge it. The owner had filled it last fall and only used about 20 gallons out of. Had a manual pump though... Gene

Allan,

Nice looking used tank. Wish I had one like that.

Around here the DOT boys will grab ya for having the hooks outside the rub rails and the binders on the right side.
