Default Plans/suggestions wanted for car or truck mounted av/mo gas tankfor self fueling

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.


Smart move. I had my tank made to hold 55 gallons, because of our
fear of crossing the laws. (Also, the original Grape was a much
smaller Nissan pick-up truck -- so I was a bit worried about
capacity.)

Now, with a full-sized Mighty Grape, I sure wish we had gone with a
bigger tank. Atlas holds 84 gallons, so we end up filling the
transfer tank pretty much every week. .
