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

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. Drill four holes and attach the power. Then attach the 12V
electric pump, filter and hose. Fill with fuel. I have since moved the
tank to a 4x8 trailer kit that I bought later at the same store. Don't
settle on the 50 gallon because the plane holds 37. A bigger capacity
allows you to go longer between trips to the gas station.

I don't need much capacity, 40 gallons would be adequate, 50 probably
overkill, as my plane's tanks only hold 37 usable.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a suitable system?

Thanks
