What do you need plans for. Go to your local farm and ranch store and get
the size tank you want. I got a 100 gallon tank that fits in the pickup
bed. ...
Isn't the "shelf life" of mogas much shorter than avgas?
That's what "they" say. It has not been my experience.
At 7 gph that 170
would take a while to burn through 100 gallons. Also, isn't there a
(probably local) fire code that regulates how much gasoline you can carry in
a private vehicle without a special permit? We tried to put a diesel tank in
at our place in Tulsa and were surprised that a 55 gallon drum was all we
could haul/store without special permits. There was also a limit as to the
number of 55 gallons drums we could have.
Much debate about this. Every farmer has at least a 100 gallon tank in
the back of their truck. Every Trade-A-Plane has a number of fuel
trailers for sale. The local USDA guys around here have a 300 gallon
gas trailer for their helicopters. They just put wheels and a tongue on
this big oval tank. I don't worry about it.
