How do you store/dispense diesel at your place?

How do you store diesel fuel for the various pieces of equipment? Farm tank?

What are you all paying for off-road diesel these days?

I have a few tanks, the one I use most is a 1000 gallon ground tank with an electric pump. So much faster and cleaner, and easier to reach than the gravity flow tanks I have on stands. Diesel is about 3.60 a gallon for off road or farm diesel.

It depends on how much you use I suppose.

Only diesel equipment around here is the sometime used tractor; therefore storeage is down at the local gas station.
They currently charge $4.299 a gallon for me to fill up my 5+ gallon yellow container............ Although 2 weeks ago it was only $4.149 and the price is only looking to go up.......

I use blue 55 gallon drums with a manual hand pump, the only diesel I use is for the tractor and I only use about 50 gallons a year. I bought a crank type pump at Harbor Freight several years back and have never had a problem with it.

Off road diesel is running about $3.55 a gallon right now, but climbing.

I have a 500 gallon tank, but it needs rerilling now. Keep hoping the prices will ease up, but they seem to be going the other way. When I do fill the tank, I ask the supplier to add in fuel treatment to extend the storage life. It costs a few extra dollars, but I've never had fuel go bad...so far...knock on wood.

I'm with Stuck. I have 2 on a pallet I built for them. Easy to move if I need to. Many/most of us NYers in the country heat the house with fuel oil in the winter. My hot water uses oil, but I heat with wood, so every time I need to fill the house tank I have them top off my 55 gal drums too (same stuff here). Mike

For those who use the 55 gallon drums, do you transport them to the station and fill them yourselves?

we use so little we just have several 5 gallon plastic diesel cans..and fill them when we need it
